It’s true when they say “inspiration finds us when we are working”, it sure does! Jotting down ideas & doodles in my sketchbook so I can keep track of them all. I love to create bold stylised botanical drawings in my sketchbooks. Do any of you keep Sketchbooks? What are your go to things to keep you inspired whilst working on an art project? xx
Here’s a little close-up from my last painting, I loved using a rainbow of colours for this one. Created with watercolours, watercolour pencils, acrylic inks, fine liners & gel pens on Daler Rowney Mixed Media paper.
‘I would like to paint the way a bird sings’ - Claude Monet
Such a true & beautiful quote for this bright Spring day! This Ink & Watercolour was one of my favourites to create. I love starting out with a blank sheet of paper, not knowing what story will be told. xoxo
Spring is always full of promise & inspiration. No matter how long winter is, spring is sure to follow! Looking forward to being able to spend time in the garden painting again. xoxo
Sometimes inspiration comes from a single ray of sunshine. It’s beautiful outside today, the sun is shining and the air is crisp. Spring is just around the corner and I can’t wait!
Having fun painting abstract florals in the studio today! xoxo
Thunder storms rolled in across the valley yesterday during our second “work party” - which was a successful effort to simply improve upon amenities that were already established. A close friend of Wildheart Homestead invited his parents (who work with Habitat for Humanity on a regular basis) to assist us in fixing some issues with our solar power system so we can actually run our freezer without a generator. We also started work on our outdoor shower. I’m so thankful for the help we received from these kind folks, and am even more blessed by the simple fact that I’m surrounded by great people who are just as excited about the future of this place as I am. Something about the land just draws folks in and keeps them longing to return. We’ve extended open invitations of free camping for life to all those who’ve been lending their hearts, heads, and hands to making this place a proper home. #wildhearthomestead #wildheart #sportsmansparadise #wilderness #homesteading #homestead #wild #primitiveliving
