A moment in time This little pen and grey lead drawing emerged in one of those classic waiting spaces…Tullamarine airport. Owls are about curiosity, learning and questioning everything as I explore different ways to view the current challenges in my world. Owls for me are a perfect symbol of resilience and difference as they shift perspective with ease and lean in with curiosity and questions. Here there is never a single answer. #owlart#owls#wild soulcreativity#curiosity#learning#mixedmediaowls #waitingspaces#brightstories#curiouspkaces#artheals Time to fly into nature and an Island lighthouse space. Nature is always a healing space and a place to restore my soul so it is no wonder that nature connects all my art pieces. At the moment it’s owls but I’m sure some of the local beauty of Bruny Island will emerge in this short escape.

Sometimes it’s about creating a little Christmas magic. #wiodsoulcreativity#owlcollectors#messybeauty#redandgreen#owlwhimsy#owlwisdom#owls#owlart#owlartist#intuitiveowlart #brightstories#melbourneartist (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmYTke3v_ne/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life has a way of flowing into form. There is so much grace and abundance just waiting for us to notice. Those small moments that surprise us are where the magic lives. Each of these little owls comes from a place of resilience and celebrating difference. Courage looks out from those vulnerable eyes and chooses action. What are you choosing today as we step into this new doorway and dream your way into 2023. #owlwisdom#brightstories#wildsoulcreativity#owl#owllover#owlcollector#owlwisdom#upliftingart#owlart#resilience#bebrave (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3Ibw-P-zr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finding owl stories as I focus on completing this owl whimsy collection of small mixed media paintings. Lots of layers and colour play as I explore the wisdom of these curious resilient souls. I love creating…. The challenge is completing as there is always an abundance of possibilities and I want it perfect… the inner perfectionist is always around when it comes to completion. These small owls are my one focus for now. The idea of one thing as the central focus helps me stay connected and complete the stories I begin. Completion and that space of finishing is easy when it’s for other people but when it’s my own business, the challenge is to set your own timelines and stick to them. It’s too easy to let other things in life take priority over your own needs. My goal was to complete 6 by yesterday… I completed 2. So today was the reset. I love the idea of using a measure of good better best so even when you don’t complete as you planned, you have a positive way of measuring progress. This idea was from a new book by @amberbonnici called #creativityunleashed which is such a nurturing guide to completion. I do love it when I connect to powerful resources exactly when I need them… a bit of guided serendipity. Im curious, how do you organise the things in your world that need to be finished? Do you have I completed waiting for you and how do you begin?I wonder what are you focusing on now and if completion is easy for you or a challenge? #wildsoulcreativity#owlart#brightstories#resilience#completion#innerperfectionist#owlwisdom#smallpaontings#melbourneartist#artforsalebyartist #trusttheprocess (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVxKT5vY_l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life happens and sometimes you have to adapt. All my plans shifted and so my calendar is a month later than planned. I decided better done than perfect and I chose to do a small run. They will not be ready until the 16th so be aware of that. I also created a card while I was at it as I do love this rainbow owl image. I can always print more but it will not be a big run anyway. I hope to do a few different ones as I explore a little bit more. A few details...these beautiful top-bound full-page calendars are in large format (26.9cm Height: 40.4cm) printed single-sided and perfect for framing. They are printed by Fuji and so good quality on thick 300GSM paper, with a white spiral binder for easy turning and a hole for easy hanging. would love you to comment and connect and I do hope to be more consistent...as I do love connecting and thank you if you read this far. If you would like to purchase one dm me as stock is limited - $35 each. #wildsoulcreativity#owlart#owlcalendar #brightstories#curiosity#owls#owlart#melbourneartist (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl-uYDbviFE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How do I let go? How do I actually let go of all the expectations and perfectionism for long enough to embrace the beauty of abstract play. This looseness in mark making with acrylics, markers and ink captures something of the random freedom of nature. The little owl looks out on her world as possibilities grow around her. There is something tentative in her gaze as she looks out at her world. She is resilient and ready for whatever comes her way. This is her story. Finding her way… adding a little colour to add to those bright stories. #wildsoulcreativity#brightstories#owlart#resilienceart#owlwisdom#intuitiveowlart#owls#owllove#originalart#melbourneartiist#wildsoulcreativity#artforsalebyartist#colourfulowl (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxtHoxPK-8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stories come in layers and sometimes the words shift on the page.New connections form as life opens. This owl is watching and waiting… holding wisdom in the stillness interrupted by the bee as one story becomes two. As I paint and step back and reflect I connect with the different aspects of the evolving story. Owl patient and still amongst the background noise that breaks the background as random letters. The bee steps between the stillness and noise and calls owl back into this moment of connection. Life is lived on n the richness of contrast and openings to new connections and understandings as the story unfolds. I wonder who you are drawn to in this story? The bee, the owl, the background noise of letters and sky? What is the feeling space that connects you and caused you to pause? #wildsoulcreativity#brightstories#owlstories#intuitiveart#aoulstories#melbourneartist#artforsale#colourmyworld#intuitiveart#guidedart#artforsale (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClvKqExv62_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
