Thursday thoughts💦🌸🌿☔️☀️So thankful for the rain... once the flowers grow!!! {Trying to loosen up a bit with my art & be a little more frivolous with my lines. I don’t don’t know how I got so rigid in my process through the years but trying to release that or at least find a balance!!! Also trying to focus on the good stuff that the crappy stuff can sometimes lead to, in life and art!!!💘 #artlifelessons #messyflowers #aprilshowers #mayflowers #loosenup #love #postyourcrappyarttoo #flowers #brainflowers #flowersinmymind #sketchy #popart #digipaint #artrage #brushstrokes #messy #digibrushes #artasyoufeelit #bethankful #lifesshort #life #art #paintbymemory #paintedflowers #saraphia (at Eastport, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/COjbxEOs7fR/?igshid=11xt1vzdwlw9j

My professor from UNCP 15+ years ago, asked me why would you want your digital pieces to look like paint. Why not go work in paint if that's what you want. I realize that for some people that's what they want (and that's great) but his words really hit home for me. It wasn't long after that I started working in a way that pushed the digital media of the piece. I understand the need for replication, but I really love embracing the media and pushing what it can do as itself. I also really love working with paint (and other media) and what I love about all of it is the unique nature of the material and what you can do when you let go of restrictions. . . . #artlife #artlifelessons #artlife🎨 #uncp #uncpembroke #oversaturated #glitchart #pixels #pixelsort #pixel #databending #datamanipulation #digitalartists #digital #digitalabstractart #digital_art #digitalart #digitallyart #digitaltexture #digital_art #digitaltextureart #digitalabstractartist #abstractart #abstractexpression #abstracture #abstractdigitalartist #abstract_art #abstractlovers #artistsoninstagram #abstractdigitalarts #abstractdigitalart #jjloveart (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByK3DgPn3M3/?igshid=c9vjt55p9m9u
