So I took my collection of #inchiechallenge2021 squares, shuffled them around, pulled out the ones that I didn't like or didn't seem to fit, and then made three new squares to take their place to create a more cohesive collection. Can you spot the new ones? (The second picture is the original 12) I also bumped up the blue a bit in my field of flowers because it just seemed to need more color! I think I'm going to frame these as a little ode to/first impressions of Fort Irwin. Of course then I have to find a place to put it, along with all of the rest of our pictures! 😂 A big thank you to @amymaricle for organizing and sharing inspiration for this totally doable art challenge, even amidst unpacking! It was perfect. 💙🧡💚 #mindfulartstudio #connieleepaints https://www.instagram.com/p/CTS5brCPlIl/?utm_medium=tumblr

So this was interesting. The last #inchiechallenge2021 prompt was DETAIL but when I took this tiny little landscape and started adding smaller lines I just ended up washing most of them out instead! Apparently details aren't my jam today, ha ha. And that's okay! There are a few tiny remnants of squiggles and dots across this mini landscape, but I rather like the softness of it, leaving the details up to the imagination. #mindfulartstudio #connieleepaints https://www.instagram.com/p/CTN5thKp0wn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a little simple SWIRLING for #inchiechallenge2021 day 11 from @amymaricle. We've been busy with more unpacking, a little furniture rearranging (which made my forearms sore!), shopping for MORE organizational type stuff (command strips for days), and we finally brought home a microwave, yay! I've had very little tea since we've been here because I'm too lazy to boil water on the stove apparently, and I also had frozen chicken in my salad last week because I was already halfway through making it when I remembered that there was no microwave in this place. Adventures! Tomorrow I get to assemble the shelving we bought for our closet so that hopefully we can get our sweaters off the bedroom floor. I think we might need a second one, though. But we'll see. For now, though? Time for me to put my feet up and watch some more Lord of the Rings! (Anyone wanna take bets on how many days it'll take us to make it through all three movies?) #mindfulartstudio #connieleepaints https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLpiSOn9Yy/?utm_medium=tumblr
