My favourite part about selling my paintings on a new platform is seeing all the new ways people try to scam artists 🙄 #artistslife #artscam #art #bewarescam #tired

"reach across the ether". Ever think about how we can love people we don't yet know or people who are no longer with us? We reach out, across time and space.

I like creating new worlds. Both in my writing and when painting, nothing quite like it! This painting series is called A Universe Unseen, as I paint intuitively with no reference.

Some artwork I did, 30x30 inches both, and a bonus pic of behind the scenes. Had to answer the door like that 🫣 #abstractart #art #painting #acrylic

My husband sees multiple paintings of mine every week, but as soon as he saw this one, he said I'm not allowed to sell it 😂 thinking of doing more of these. It reminds me of poisonous frogs and luminescent shrooms, what do you see?

90x60 acrylic

WIP. Trying to break away from smoothing everything out so much when using oils. #oilpainting #abstract #landscape #painting #art

I can't even start a sketchbook as I get discouraged when the first pages don't look good enough 😩

I think the clouds stand out too much! By the way as it dries, I can see the old painting from the layer underneath coming out 😅

amazing. How do you get this texture of brushstrokes? I find that with oils I make things way too smooth and need to break the habit

WIP. Phthalo green supremacy. Not sure if I should make it even more minimalist, or add more detail... #oilpainting #tonalism #landscape #abstract

Love the expressions!

Sometimes I get those old post reminder things and I realise I could never post this now with my grandmother reading them. Most of it is cringe, but at least we were free 😀

Orange and blue is a killer combination

Looks good enough that I started craving desert 😫

Sometimes I still remember what facebook was like during the first years 🤦‍♀️

Trying to love acrylics! Painted this on a sunny day, perhaps one of the last ones this season in New Zealand. #art #acrylic #abstractart #newzealand #artwork #colourexplosion
