Art + Dogs + Coffee = a much better head space. Autocorrect just adjusted head to heart. That is pretty accurate too. There is a new 120 x 60 inch in the works. Big ideas & emotions work out best on a big surface. Paper takes a lot of buildup & abuse but responds with beauty & sensitivity. Funny, autocorrect just tried to replace paper with people. Today may be the first time I've appreciated autocorrect this way. Hopefully there are lots of positive first times coming. This nation needs it. . . . . For art & paper lovers, I am still participating in the #artistsupportpledge and have created a showroom feed to feature available works. Check it out @ateliertobypenney.

Usually I post works in progress/ studio shots in B & W to differentiate the moment in process from the object. Today seemed to warrant a different approach. Much like this year has demanded a rethink of our general life processes. WHAT NOW? Is a question I hear a lot of people ask in the most exasperated tones. I get it but, I am personally getting over asking myself that question. Instead I have been taking some time to look back over my personal history to reevaluate what skills have gotten me here. Emotional, technical, physical skills are all being considered. This time is definitely wearing parts of me down, ego especially. However, it is also a time that is forcing growth, that I was comfortably blind in not realizing, I needed. Erasing WHAT NOW? is happening personally & in the studio. This painting and I are transitioning together. Are you growing? How? What is working better for you now than it did this time last year? . . . . About this work in progress: 123 x 60 inches Reclaimed fabric, fiber, & paper with mixed oil media on extra heavy paper (cardstock) . . . #workonpaper #contemporarypainting #artsdesfemmes #paintbig https://www.instagram.com/p/CDotErUHytM/?igshid=x8zgibvg7nin

There has been a lot of life packed into the last few days. It is looking like the weekend promises the same. Swipe to see the full view of this #wip at 123 x 60 inches. It is my current studio focus, going with me through the changes this week keeps throwing my way. So far it is adapting well. . . . . #workinprogress #workonpaper #contemporarypainting #paintbig https://www.instagram.com/p/CDk3lU-HOK-/?igshid=1gpzy8u0zqslo

Making art happen has many different looks. Today it looks like grant writing & proposal development. That is, while crucial, a pretty boring look. So I am sharing a recent studio session & a few favorite recent paintings. There are also more details & information @ateliertobypenney . I welcome questions by comment or dm. Hope your hump day rocks! . . . . #paperwork #paintbig #contemporarypainting #artsdesfemmes @roamingstudio @your_art_now https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhGAgnnIRg/?igshid=1gszug5xl14yy

Visited my peach mural in Marietta recently & it's still looking good! I could use some bright vibes on this cold, dreary Atlanta day... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peach #mural #publicart #paintbig #atlantanights #atlantaartist #mariettasquare #georgiapeach #atlantaart #atlantaeats #weartatl #atlantaartist #mural #publicart #cabbagetown #atlgraffiti #atlmurals #mariettasquare (at Kiosco Colombian Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFvLlSgI7b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q9mvlr7myd9r
