WHITE and SIMPLE. White and simple is really hard. I have been drawn lately to a white palette. I’m still working on textures and a patina vibe but I find this palette a challenge. Im sure it’s good for me. Resting in an easy place too long is never what I want. Who knows, maybe it’s the call of winter? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #modernart #studioday #artsmill #pauladestefanis #white #winter #whitepaintings #simplicity #interiordesign (at The Cooperativa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomR4VBAzUs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v7jwlukbyw32

Another acrylic from 2016. It is funny how certain sections of you paintings become your favorites. I’m constantly turning my canvas over in every direction making sure I am pleased with it from all views. I was most happy with this color palette. . . . . . . . . . #studiomakers #studio #art #abstractexpressionism #artsmill #painting #pauladestefanis #paulaspalette #makingmymark #interiordesign #contemporaryart #modernart (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJNJpjgeTa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nmmykezcity7

I had such a productive Sunday! Watched an intense football game (which I love) worked on a new commission in the studio after, and had a lovely dinner with family after. Now it’s Monday am and it’s go, go, go! I hope everyone has a great Monday and an even better week! . . . . #studiophoto #artsmill #pauladestefanis #oilpainting #commission #mondaymotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1DkrkH6hC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gi00uhkoilpr

I found this photo on my desk today. This group of lovelies came together to build a temple, the Arts Mill. In this photo we are on the studio level carving out an epic design. All of these people are still in the Arts Mill life (except I have no idea who the dude in the back is). The best part of this photo? None of us are wearing skinny jeans!! . . . . . #artsmill #sherimabry #susanmajewski #pauladestefanis #studiomakers #art #artists #suecibulka #matthewrielly https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuIB2fHyHw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rqco7hvtqilk

This is today’s inspiration. I’m in my studio listening to the hum of the river trying to find my artistic groove. I have so many ideas, so many color palettes running in my head, they all want to jump out at the same time. I’ll find my grove. But first, I’ll clean my studio!! Funny starting point, but I seem to always start with that!! Decluttering my studio feels like decluttering my brain 🎨. . . . . . . #artsmill #art #findingmygroove #painter #autumn #oilpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BncDTB7A_jq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xufgk0g101j4

This oldie but goodie finally found a home yesterday. I sold @theartsmill by a lovely lady from the Madison area, she said it spoke to her. This piece had been with me for awhile- it was good to finally let it go. #artsmill #acrylicpainting #modernart #abstractart #texture #interiordesign #summerfun (at Arts Mill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG2KtNAIJn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8f9xemhgner
