My latest oil on acrylic on canvas.
#create #paint #abstract #art

7 #paintings & 1 mixed media created in Jan & Feb.

Inspired by nature, hikes, our backyard, the snow blizzard, our hens Ruby and Rosie's nest, my yellow art studio, a 40-year-old ink drawing in my scrapbook, and paintings hanging in my home studio.

I say, “In times of world chaos, create.”

Getting ready to create my next painting.

Haha! I’m self-taught too. Started in during the pandemic at age 62. I’ve been in 9 exhibitions; 1 solo. Received 2nd place honors for one of my acrylic landscapes. I paint in all sizes, acrylic, oils. Check out my paintings & newsletter on my website: www.miriamdiazgilbert.com/my-paintings

Still working on my new oil painting.

I created a perfectly imperfect 18” x 24” acrylic painting on canvas of the 14 paintings hanging in my studio. It took me 13.5 hrs over 5 days. A fun, relaxing & meditative exercise. A creative way to document the first set of paintings hanging on the walls. www.miriamdiazgilbert.com/my-paintings

Great vest. Good luck with your first ultra. Which one?

I had a fun chat with Erica, host of the More Than Your Age podcast. We talked about overcoming adversity, ultrarunning, aging and making it fun, and much more.

Training continues for the Old Six Day 144-hr track ultra in April.
Ultra no. 42 at age 67.

In the meantime, moved my medals, buckles & podium plaques from my home office upstairs to adorn my home gym space downstairs.

And turned my office into my art studio.

Repurpose. Redecorate. Reimagine.
