#chasingcolor

Chasing color and staying warm with this capture. There's not a day that goes by where this little-big-man asks if we are going to Hawaii tomorrow. It's a slow and happy Saturday, sending a slow and happy-love to you all. #momandme #chasingcolor (at Anini Beach, Kaua'i)

Day 146 // This little painting bothers me when I look at it up close. Sometimes paintings make more sense as a thumbnail, this is the modern day equivalent to taking five big steps back from your painting. 🙂🙃🙂 . . . . . . . . #watercolor #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #austinart #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Springfield, Missouri)

Day 144 // Tomato soup and grilled cheese was my absolute favorite food as a kid. I used to think that this was a fairly refined choice for a child until my husband lovingly pointed out that this was essentially a pizza remixed. 🍕🍅😁 . . . . . . . . #acrylic #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #austinart #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Springfield, Missouri)

Day 143 // Spend the day working on some commissioned pieces so my only finished product today is a found painting from a walk. #foundart . . . . . . . . #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #austinart #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Springfield Botanical Gardens)

zOHMYGOD! Setting up to paint acrylics got the first time in years. I'm excited to sling some paint around on my jumbo sized brushes again. 😁🎨🙈 . . . . . . . . #watercolor #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #austinart #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Springfield, Missouri)

Day 140 // Two things that help me thrive-- sunlight and good company. In this instance I had both. Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend part of the afternoon wandering around an abandoned bike park with my talented sister-in-law. We bonded over the trickiness of painting trees, each discussing our process to translate them on a page. It only made sense then for me to work from that conversation in today's piece. Trees are challenging, but it's important to practice in the struggle. Hopefully this is an extension of the words we shared yesterday. Thanks for inspiring me @soslowpitseleh on this gorgeous day, I'm so glad you are part of my family 😊🙏🏽💗 . . . . . . . . #watercolor #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #austinart #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Doling Park and Family Center)

Day 138 // I don't remember watching the movie 'Sling Blade' back in '96 but I remember running around the house grumbling out my best impression. About a week ago my husband and watched this movie on Netflix. About 600 "French fried taters" and "Alright den" later I've come to the conclusion that I still have a lot in common with 6 year old Sari. #slingblade . . . . . . . . #watercolor #painting #thatsdarling #dreamersanddoers #creativityfound #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #chasingcolor #dailypainting #dailyart #color #fineart #artist #acolorstory #bedeeplyrooted #carveouttimeforart #paintingoftheday #texasartist #thatauthenticfeeling #feelfreedfeed #painterly #artistlife #creativelifehappylife #painter #artwork #nothingisordinary #artofvisuals #doitfortheprocess #theartofslowliving (at Springfield, Missouri)
