YAY!! So glad to hear that Amy’s approach has been good for you, Marge.

Really enjoying your creative approaches.

Yes, I agree with you Tina. I stumbled on to her work and was facinated to watch the process of creation. Many times I give up, because I am trying too hard.

Hi Tina! I’m so glad you found us! These are high flow acrylic paints from Golden. Since this article speaks to you, I have a free class that might speak to you called The Guide to Creative Self Care. I hope to see you around here in the Mindful Art Studio community. Cheers!

Just happened upon this on Pinterest. I really like (love) your style. Relating life to art..what a concept. I love your background in this article. Is it spray inks?

Thanks so much, Kandra! That’s all done with a liner brush and high flow paints. I’m thrilled I could inspire! Happy creating – xo

Hi Susan! I’m so happy to have you here! Yes, sometimes our creativity can hide way down in there. We get such strong messages about being “productive” and not being “selfish” that we get the message that our creativity should take last priority. And it IS hard to find uninterrupted time. I think for me that’s part of what drives me to work small and in stages – it makes the work accessible.

I hope this helps a bit, Susan. I have a free class you might enjoy: https://mindfulartstudio.com/shop/beautifully-imperfect-art/ – It’s a great little workbook to help you identify and set aside perfectionistic ideas that stand between you and your beautiful, expressive art journal. You’ll get tips on lowering the pressure on yourself when you sit down to make art, and 3 fun project ideas to get you painting, drawing, and writing in your journal.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know I’ve reached you with my art, Celia, it really means so much to me. XO Amy
