Spent an hour on this piece to keep my hand memory going yesterday. A quick sketch on this embroidery hoop I have had for a while and I was off. As always had an impression of where I wanted to go with it. I.e mood, a dog or two a boy. I made sure I had a variation on the primary colours on my palette and got started. It was fun. I love looking at my time lapses and trying to get a little knowledge on how I work. #arttimelapse #artprocess #painting #acrylicpainting #portrait #green #dogs #boy #scottishartist #kirkintilloch #glasgow #embroidery #hoop #embroideryhoopartpainting #beatriceajayi #artwork #art #artist #studiopractice #loveart #loveyourart #womenintheartsscotland #womeninbusiness #womeninarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CWfftojInIF/?utm_medium=tumblr

In the shop this Tuesday morning to afternoon. Looking thing collection of stag pieces in the shop. Vaguely remember painting them but now realising when you are in the zone as an artist and your work flows you shouldn’t have too much recollection of stilted steps. All I can remember is that I had fun watching the paint drip. I feel like I dance with my canvases. P.s couldn’t tell you how I got the textures on this one. 😳 https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2v0_xgL6-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love how my original acrylic studies look in these frames. Imagine a feature wall of these textured A4 sized pieces. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPxUVRbgIGv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Entitled “Stag on The Hill” 8 x 10 inch canvas. What a cutie. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPByeRwAoj7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meet the new stag on the beat. This cutie is the subject of my upcoming #skillshare class. Editing the filming today. Have a safe day. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CO18GuVAN_2/?igshid=m5bcxmlzwmft

My little friend is assessing my progress on his friends from today so far. Currently sitting down. I have been working on them most of today. Enjoyed adding tails. Still got more additions to them. Really enjoying making these. Using excess fabrics from @simonewoodtweed and @littlelegsbabykilts, very thankful for the fun patterns they shared. I am also using vintage and patterned papers and acrylic paints. They are more muted colours than I usually use, that is deliberate. More to come. 🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/COnkeJYAwD6/?igshid=1v7o77lw6ezvi

Morning, I brought this little guy into the kitchen yesterday to keep me company for a while as I tidied. I wanted to see him in natural light and decide what tiny extras he needs. His friends back in the studio are itching to get out too. I am hoping to have them all ready to take into the shop @createed5 with me on Tuesday. I can see the herd of them in the window display. 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/COmnnvhA8gH/?igshid=771c1652tm02

The stormy weather heading towards these two is almost on par with what’s outside my window. Subtle greens in the fields lead down to the meadow. I actually have a meadow next to were I stay to, but the colourful flowers in my paintings are the difference. They are bright and cheerful and that’s what I am going for today. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/COhYSXtA6bm/?igshid=s3fsuu5715u8

It was a rainy then very sunny day yesterday while I was in the shop #createED yesterday. These paintings kept me smiling though. It’s hard to remember how I start individual paintings. All I know is that the journey for each always wows me. I never quite know when I am to stop either. It just happens one day. There is a whisper that says. “It is Finished” https://www.instagram.com/p/COezhmZgYTo/?igshid=1jmmf82jocy8v

I was in the shop today putting work out. It’s really worth seeing this in person. Images don’t do it justice. I am excited to see all the work the partners and makers have created over lockdown. https://www.instagram.com/p/COTMviPABCq/?igshid=1b41k48kfl18x

At it again this morning. 😳 https://www.instagram.com/p/COP31z4gHi6/?igshid=1xdb6gachzlph

Got some new supplies for new products and old today. Will be in the shop Friday to set up hopefully. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CON5orCAfMY/?igshid=13bbby0cmyb7r

I added some paint to this couple and now I really love it. https://www.instagram.com/p/COJHorRgcEu/?igshid=17bi23jx8rj3d
