#pyhas2020

Another fun painting! I’ve been feeling lazy so a relatively quick project like this is fun to do. Except I didn’t like some aspects of it so I let it sit for like a week before I worked on it again. I almost gave up but In the end I was able to get it to where I liked it. An analogy to pushing through the hard times. When the butterfly is in the cocoon she is going through some significant transformation. The same way God refines us through painful experiences and we learn to have more love and compassion for others.

I was inspired by @dnrenee to paint an African woman with a head wrap. I found a beautiful image on súplase by @princearkman and created this painting. I’m really pleased with it. The dark tones were hard to accomplish. I’ll think I’ll paint more beautiful ethnic women. I was thinking today that I’ve been trying to look for a style by taking a lot of classes with different artists. But this is my style and I’m trying to resist it. I’ve learned a lot from other artists and will continue to learn and improve and branch out. Because of yesterday’s events in the US with congress and the electoral college vote I’m calling this painting “Freedom”. #pyhas2020 @cartel.watercolorists @watercolor_daily @watercolor #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorartworks #portrait #portraitpaintings #freedom #africangirlpainting #watercolorportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwEbZkAfj-/?igshid=19hjpubjr6k2n

Self portraits have always been one of my favorite forms of art therapy and self healing. ❤️ I’ve been getting caught up in some of my art classes and last week’s lesson was a loose and expressive portrait at an angle. I decided to do a self portrait to up the challenge I guess. 🙃 I have a hard time loosening up while painting as is, but enjoyed the challenge and can’t wait to do mode paintings similar to this in the future. . . . #faceyourself #faceyourpain #selfportrait #pyhas2020 #artclasses #artcourses #paintyourheartandsoul2020 #selfportraitpainting #selfportraitart #arttherapy #selfhealing #art #artist #messyart #acrylicpainting #painting #paintingonpaper #treetalker #treetalkerart #artistlife #healingthroughart #artistonimstagram #portrait #portraitpainting #challenge #challengeyourself #acrylicpaint #artwork #arteveryday #artofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRoGctnjhp/?igshid=1smrabizchd13

Another quick sketch and watercolor of Taos cause I had a blank page... and It was in front of this building that I knew I was gonna love it here. There was a knight in shining armor on a horse just... hanging out. I never got answers on that, and I never got a picture but I got one of the cool teal pickup truck at least. And one of my favorite parts of living in New Mexico is how everyone decorates for Christmas with lights inside paper bags. . . . #pyhas2020 #watercolor #paintyourheartandsoul2020 #watercolorart #watercolors #quicksketch #quickpainting #nopencil #watercolorpainting #quickwatercolor #painting #art #artist #treetalker #treetalkerart #taosart #loosepainting #taos #taosartist #newmexico #taosvape #art #artjournal #artjournaling #intheartjournal #justforfun #fun #arteveryday #stayhomeanscreate #tealpickup #inlovewiththattruckthough https://www.instagram.com/p/B_GbD6Fnv2R/?igshid=1buyu0l26096v

💚 It’s my one year taos-iversary! I’ve officially been in Taos for one whole year and I’m so happy with my decision to move here. This week in #pyhas2020 we are doing loose sketch and watercolor city scenes and I did mine of the Taos inn. I snapped a few photos when I first moved here of the beautiful adobe buildings in Taos with the hope to check them out later. So happy to have had them on my phone for this project. 💚💚💚 hopefully when the quarantine is over I can check them out in person again. . . . #watercolor #sketch #taosinn #taos #oneyear #cityscape #watercolorsketch #adobe #adobebuilding #taosnewmexico #gratitude #art #artist #artwork #treetalker #treetalkerart #newart #intheartournal #artjournal #artjournaling #anniversary #taosartist #taosart #quicksketch #loosepainting #watercolors #watercolorandink #drawing #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/B_GAdxMHi51/?igshid=uo4lo1saupqt

Finally finished “Lady of the lake” She’s a water nymph, she was sent from the sea is here to nurture the earth at this time of great healing. This piece was made for a week six’s lesson of #paintyourheartandsoul2020 lesson by @annie_hamman #acrylicpainting #acrylics #pyhas2020 I’m really excited to have more time for what makes me happy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OH_MRnpoY/?igshid=qs4667tqh02c
