So Iāve been on quite the journey here lately. I donāt know if this is āmid-life malaiseā as my sweet cousin so aptly phrased it the other day or just the result of my super perfectionist, have to be always on/doing all the things selfā but I hit a major wall over the holidays. Throw in a 3 week virus on top and out comes a hot mess š
Iām not sure of the exact etiology of this feeling- all I know is that my 42 year old body is throwing me a hard stop. So this year, Iām trying to maximize intentional white space in my life. Space for the things I love, not just the things Iām responsible for. And at that rate- redefining where my energy goes and what I am ACTUALLY responsible for.
I am really so thankful for this wonderful network of friends Iāve built here š¤š¤ just know that Iām here. It may not look like showing up with 3 posts a week or new art all the time, but Iām here! Mostly just saying this to free myself of the guilt from not doing instagram ājust soā :) anywho..
I got myself a new set of watercolor procreate brushes for Christmas and have been wanting to try them out! ā this new aqua real set is a WIN!! Love love it! I figured it would be easier to experiment not working from scratch, so I used my Flowers watercolor workbook and adapted it for Procreate! So fun! If yāall havenāt tried these workbooks- theyāre so cool! She starts you off with a sketch, color palate, and instructions! I love her style :) And the quote from Emily Dickinson just made me smile š„°
Happy Sunday yall! What have you been working on?
