As much as I want to “stick to the art” and create a space dedicated to my work, this post is about the art of life. I’ve learned a few things recently.
Can I post content and paint religiously every day?
❌no
Can I appeal to everyone?
❌no
Am I a dedicated mom before anything else?
✅yes
Am I proud of myself for small wins?
✅yes
I didn’t post anything in the last month but I painted a lot. I have a few murals lined up for spring and I am excited for what’s to come with some possible art shows.
But today? Today, I made a pot of chili, my dog is sleeping in my lap while my kids are outside playing in the snow. Today is a different kind of win.❄️
🍂Like trees shedding their leaves and animals retreating to rest, winter asks us to slow down.
In a culture that glorifies work and productivity, rest can feel rebellious. When we allow ourselves to embrace the stillness of winter, we make space for clarity, growth, and deeper sense of being.
Here’s to trusting the season we’re in. Stay warm out there.🤍
