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 little cutie on a swing just popped up on my memories and I love the mixed media textures and her cutie little face in this so much! 😍😍😍 I painted this 6 years ago.

The wonderful @therapistsanctuary and I have filmed another session for our `Creative Sanctuary` series on the y tubes 😊 . This time we talked about `shame` and `shadow work` in general. Jen made a doll and I made an empathy monster! 😊 Many of you will have created an empathy monster with me before in response to the Shadow Work Life Book lesson in the past (and also on woman unleashed!) This cutie did not disappoint me. 😊 The episode will be up on my channel soon! ♥️♥️♥️ Link in my bio/ linktree.

When I`m low and life feels heavy, I end up creating innocent, delightfully cute creatures. I don`t tend to paint `my pain`, I tend to paint `what I need` or `what will soothe me`. The sweet characters offer a reprieve of some sorts, an escape from the dark, a soulful moment of compassion and empathy. I can hear this cute little guy say; “hey hey, it’s gonna be ok, want a cookie or a hug?” 😊 Hope he brightens up your day too. ♥️♥️♥️
