What’s this a’growing in the sun?! (Work in progress. Watercolors need patience and poise. So I repeat the mantra “I am tending the garden of patience” until my tension begins to ease) ... ... ... #jacqueomanclinton #watercolor #watercolorpainting #workinprogress #zinnia #lovelydeadcrap #mnartist #botanicalpainting #watercolorflowers #watercolorartist #zinniapainting #winterflowers #meditation #gardenlife #watercoloronpaper #peacefulnature https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-Ak4RJmSY/?igshid=ek523iec9lcd

Ever have one of those weeks where everything you make looks like garbage to you? I’m having one of those. It’s good to have them now and again, I guess. It’s good practice for letting things go, stepping back before you get hot headed, and allowing yourself some space to get a clearer perspective tomorrow (whenever that “tomorrow” ends up being...) ... ... ... #jacqueomanclinton #penandink #illustration #bookillustration #inkdrawing #shellingpeas #farmtotable #instaartist #illustratorsoninstagram #draweveryday #simplelife #eatyourpeas #keepgoing #instaart #pendrawing #foodillustration #gardenbounty https://www.instagram.com/p/B7uDSATJEZO/?igshid=10ydp4ibxwip8

Finished dandelions. Whew! It took much longer than i thought. Good advice I once heard from an art teacher: plan twice as much time for an art project than you think it will take. Creative projects seem to work like that. They take lots of twists and turns. It takes a lot of persistence to see a project through from beginning to end. Especially when you have so many other shiny new ideas and inspirations that you’re itching to get to next. So it seems fitting that the dandelions outside have been blooming all summer long, since early spring. Persistent little buggers, they are. Like an artist needs to be. ... ... ... #jacqueomanclinton #artistsoninstagram #instaart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #winsorandnewton #fineart #painting #floral #dandelion #dandelions #wildflowers #weeds #plantsaremyfriends #botanicalart #arteveryday #aquarelle #persistence https://www.instagram.com/p/B2g4e0rgjyT/?igshid=1q51xczj63t87
