Happy September! Friday Face Off ART

 

Autumn has arrived early

I really enjoy the change of colours

I count my blessings and try to be grateful for each day



Currently trying to read more.
My brain jumps to so many thoughts it's making my reading harder. 
I sit trying to read and my thoughts and brain start saying
"try this! don't forget that! make dinner! clean the house! pick up the mail!" 
lol It's all good, I will keep on going and hopefully be able to deeply dive into the storyline. 


We don't eat out often so last weekend we went to Wimpy's and I had the turkey bacon sandwich. 
It was incredible. Absolutely loved going out. 






This is for Nicole's "Friday Face Off"

I used markers for this face and also pastels and some paint as well. 

I didn't measure the face, I just went with the flow. 

I enjoy drawing faces and I use to do it more often. 

Thank you Nicole for hosting this art party. 


This was a quick sketch 


another quick sketch


Last Year I painted this lovely face



Thank you all for visiting and for your wonderful comments. I appreciate you all!

I make a lot of art shorts on Youtube and this is my recent journal collage

I really love paper and glue. 

Maybe I will start working on a face and add paper to the faces! 

Off I go to create!

Hope you are all well my friends!

Much love, light and good health!

Love, 

Maria

March Artwork


March is almost over and it's so strange because it went by so fast. My lymphedema arm has been bothering me and I need to go get my arm drained and also get fitted for a new sleeve. My strabismus is getting worse and I am hoping that I can see my specialist soon. I'm emotional... I did a lot of artwork this month and I would like to make more. I would like to explore ink and fountain pen. I look forward to using my new Leuchtturm1917 Notebook and sketchbook in April. I would like to draw and paint on location like in a cafe or in Nature. Drawing outdoors has many challenges and I would like to explore and develop as an artist. Personal growth is important to me. I would like to scroll less. Stay off my phone and keep more active with things I enjoy doing. I haven't uploaded a vlog and I love vlogging so much. I will try my best to upload in April. April is my Birthday month. I can't believe I am going to be 49. One more year in my 40's.  Also my hubby and daughter celebrate in April as well and we have Easter too. It's a busy month. Carlton Cards kindly sent me a lovely package and I can't wait to share everything with you. I will be decorating for Birthdays and Easter and sharing it with you. 

Enjoying this month...
I love art, writing and painting. I enjoy reading and recently I am participating in a play which I am enjoying so much. I hope you are all good and I truly wish you a very amazing and wonderful April. 
























Thank you so much for reading my blogpost.
I appreciate you
You are amazing and wonderful!
Stay positive and do things you love. 
Have a happy April!

Inspiration & Creativity During the Winter Months

 




It's a huge challenge for me when January comes around to keep motivated and inspired to make art and keep my creative spark going. But little steps at a time helps. It's not everyday but It is small steps that help bring in the flow of creativity and inspiration.
How about you? 

My husband bought me a new watercolour set and I've been enjoying using this and it's been a lot of fun. 



This is a little junk journaling and I really enjoyed using gold leaf, wax and sparkle paint on this page. 








Sometimes a little bit of something creative can bring more inspiration and productivity around.  Even when we are feeling down it's good to take little steps and move forward. I hope you are all well my friends. January is very challenging time for me and I am trying to not scroll on the phone. I find the less time on my phone the better I feel. Just keep active with anything other than your phone. A good balance is important. Live life to the fullest! 

Love, Peace and Blessings your way!
Lot's of Positivity and Love
