I think I’ll be experimenting with more paintings like this! It was honestly really nice to stop worrying about what the painting was supposed to look like and just let it become what it was going to be, plus, I really love the florals 💕🌸

Becoming a Painter — 01
I finally started taking painting seriously.

very awkward and vulnerable post 😂 but wanting to share! Follow along if you want to share my journey to really hunker down and develop my skills doing something I truly love doing! I currently have zero knowledge of what I’m doing, but I’m working on a western themed mini collection that I will hopefully sell by the end of this… 🤠

I’ve always loved to create. painting. drawing. becoming so absorbed in one thing that you lose your sense of yourself and of time. that’s how I feel when I’m creating.
admittedly, I’ve never been especially skilled. I took a few art classes in college, but never really expanded my practice beyond that. I’ve gone through phases of feeling very inspired and motivated. Wanting to get better. My kids aren’t an excuse, but if you’re a mom of multiple children, you know how easily you can place your creative outlets on the back burner… so here’s to today. Rekindling my love for creating, and hoping to have some accountability with sharpening my skills.
Stay tuned, and hopefully you’ll see me post more of the process 🫶🏽🤠

You can take the mom out of the kitchen, but she’ll just find another one. 😂
