Some Inspiration For You

By Tamara Laporte  |   in art journal  | Tags: art musings , art journal , tamara laporte , Willowing Arts  

Some Inspiration for You ♥️
I hope this message finds you well and that you’ve had a good 2024 so far. ♥️♥️♥️ I’ve started my year by going gently and taking it easy! I’m trying to practise what I preach and this year will be for finding joy and bringing joy but also for rejuvenating and recovering lost energies from the past.

It’s so funny how life reflects art and art reflects life because in response to my ‘taking it easy’, I’ve also been making really soothing and calming art. I am finding myself called to creating art that invokes a sense of relaxation and peace. Don’t you just love these beautiful botanicals? I could just sink into them!

 

 

I’ve created a little inspirational and soothing video of the making of this painting here. The music, too, is really relaxing. If you prefer watching videos on TikTok, you can also watch the video HERE. (and I love connecting over there so I welcome a follow there too!) 😊

And for those of you who are on Life Book 2024, we’ll also be creating a painting like this for my February lesson! 😍

It’s not too late to join us if you also want to learn to make a painting like this.

Join us here. ❤️🌟💕

Have a wonderful rest of your month!
Much love, Tam 💕

This song has been on repeat for the last 3 weeks or so. It`s so achingly beautiful and heart breaking, had to record my own version of it! I love harmonising with myself. Playing the piano and using a mic however, meant that it overwhelmed the voice a bit, will do that differently next time. ♥️♥️♥️ Best listened to on headphones.
The song is by `Novo Amor`. Here are the lyrics:
"Repeat Until Death"
Low, a part of me now
A palm to my mouth
I said it, almost
Snow, brother, I`ll bet it all gold
Shudder with blood in my nose
I had it almost
Don`t go, you`re half of me now
But I`m hardly stood proud
I said it almost
Oh, I`ve been low
But dammit, I bet it don`t show
It was heaven a moment ago
Oh, I had it almost
We had it almost
Oh, I can`t seem to let myself leave you
But I can`t breathe anymore
Oh, I can`t seem to not need to need you
I can`t breathe anymore
♥️

I had discarded this journal spread a while ago as “not good enough” and now I’m like: “heh? I really love this!” So funny how your own view of your own art can change so much after a while. Not finished yet but I like it as it is. 😊
