From blank canvas to finished masterpiece - my progress in the art studio, this week.
This week has been full of ups and downs. It’s so exhilarating to be an artist and to have fun creating but I’m not only an artist. I’m a mom too, wife, daughter, sister, friend. And this week, I’ve been truly navigating through life and being in the studio has brought me so much solace.
This is the first (and only) painting I made this week. I’ve been wanting to buy a lucky cat since a long time and decided to paint myself one! I’m quite happy with how it turned out. It is a tri-colored cat, which is the luckiest cat of all, bringing wealth and prosperity. And i’m all for living an abundant life 💫 It’s an oil painting and I did the lucky coin in acrylic and collaged the words ‘lucky you’ on it 😄
I also started a couples’ portrait commission this week. I’m only at the drawing phase and i’m so looking forward to paint it next week!!
I found some thrifted frames too and bought some wood. I have to prepare it first with some gesso and hopefully, I will have begun the drawings for my next exhibition. I’m going big this time, at least bigger than last time 😄 I hope you had an amazing week. See you next Sunday! Till then, have fun 🥳
Much Love 💕
