Every artist has one. Doesn’t matter how much you do...It never seems like enough. 😂😂 #art #artandlife #artistguilt #creativity #thecreativelife

I’ve been working on more praying mantis prints. What colours would you like to see? Poster and giclee prints are available now.

A corner of my jewellery workshop. I am happy to work in an abundance of creative chaos. For a time. Often rather a long time. There is an underlying order. Like a Gertrude Jekyll garden. 💙🧡💚🕊👌#thecreativelife #hilarybravostudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CdNEONNqmES/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A busy week of delivering artwork, picture framing, creating new homegood products for the galleries, working on a commission painting, a little morning kayaking this week to keep the sanity and finished cleaning the boat today! Had repair work done and it's ready to go!!!!! #lifeisgood #TheCreativeLife #thankful Dreesefineart.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CCe5lMPDLi4/?igshid=1cqi085mvaltx

Forgot to share this earlier: Here's a look at my dining room table with my sketchbook open and one of my Home Hare Care art pieces in progress. I work in short bursts, often working in phases on several different projects. Yes, I have an #artstudio with a big art easel and all the trimmings. But the dining room table is a nice place to work too...while talking with my sweetie, as a meal cooks, as the dog and cat gets fed, as life happens. #artstudiolife #thecreativelife (at Vancouver, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvhkVjJoZW/?igshid=1u3c9huflpgfg

One of the cool things about my work that I enjoy the most is review my creative process and to see how certain ideas evolve and transform. This design in particular, inspired by my Grandmother Helvia, started as a colorpencil drawing on black cardboard. I took pictures of it, scanned it, retouched in photoshop and played with it a lot. I uploaded to my @society6 store and it has been one of the best sellers, but I still felt it wasn’t quite my original concept. I have been experimenting and studying @procreate in theipad and surface design, taking different classes on @skillshare and I couldn’t be happier with the evolution of this design. Now it is available in my brand new store in @spoonflower and @roosteryhome as fabric, tablecloth and other beautiful high quality items that I will be posting soon. :) happy Saturday to all! . . . . . #thecreativelife #surfacedesign #flowerdesign #flowerpatterns #illustration #womenillustrators #illustragram #creativeprocess #procreate #spoonflower #skillshare #digitalart #colorpencil https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLMUIWAiyW/?igshid=wbx1qyfyen00
