Worth the wait. But more importantly, worth all the weeks of wondering. . Wondering If an ugly pot of dirt could ever become a regal thing of beauty. . Wonder I did. . And beauty it became. . In spite this room full of skeptics. . . . #hope #believe #dream #persevere #wait #remember #celebrate #beautiful

These three friends were painted as a series. Back when I had my very first studio outside the house. Along the river. In downtown #yeahthatgreenville . What a delightful surprise when the order came through on Thursday afternoon, and I saw that somebody had actually matched these three together. All on #his very own. Without any direction or guidance from the website. . The friends were so happy to be heading to their new home. To start their new life. Together!

Thanks to the cat. In the middle of the night. Two shoelaces became five pieces. . But thanks to Charley’s creativity, my lucky painting shoes have become an even MORE glamorous fashion statement! . . . #crazycat #creativity #createdtocreate #artistlife #improvise #lifeisart #lemonadefromlemons #luckyshoes #magicshoes

Sunshine, you make all the difference. Thanks for popping in those past few minutes.

And then sometimes, when it is STILL winter, a person just needs to send themselves flowers. For no particular reason. Except maybe to remember that you are awesome. And that winter will NOT last forever. . . #lifeisbeautiful #lifeissweet #lifeisgood #lifeisart #artistlife #winterishard #lifeishard #remembergoodness #treatyoself

This week’s project. Painting my literal “happy place.” Goodness for my soul. . . #huntingisland #beaufort #beaufortsc #lowcountry #createdtocreate #roomtobreathe #southernstyle #southernliving #summer #saltmarsh #originalart #visualtherapy #remembertobreathe #remembergoodness #mariescottpainting

I just said goodbye to this friend. He has been keeping me company in the studio since November while he’s been drying. Parting ways today was less bitter and mostly sweet — as I know he will be happy and well-loved in his forever home. . . #mariescottpainting #artistsofgreenville #sunflowerpainting #southernliving #southernstyle #originalart #yeahthatgreenville #design #artconnection

And to think, I almost threw this dream away... . . #latebloomer #amaryllis #floweringbulbs #patience #patiencepays #artiseverywhere #lifestyle #lifeisart #beautifulday #beautifuldreamer #remembergoodness

I cannot think of a more inspiring place to work. How did I ever get so lucky? . #artistsoninstagram #artist #beautifulday #beautifulplace #beautifulspace #beautifullife

It’s 93 degrees in Rio de Janeiro right now. That sure sounds nice... 🌴☀️

My newest painting project. And lucky for me, at the moment the sun is shining into my studio is such a way that almost feels like the summer day when I took this photo! . #ontheeasel #paintingday #artistsoninstagram #artistlife #summerlove #summermood #remembergoodness #rememberwhoyouare #oilpainting #southernstyle #southern #beaufortsc

(14 days - 1 snow day - 1 school holiday - 3 snow days - weekends = 5 days of school) + (14 days - 9.5 school holidays - weekends = .5 days of school) = roughly 5.5 school days in 4 weeks. . Can this math be correct?? If so... No WONDER my brain is turned upside down. #nomoresnow

Snow covered Magnolias outside the window make this painting feel even warmer today.
