quietly creating

Quietly creating


So, it goes like this...If you listened to an earlier video posted last week, then you know that while I’m a good multi-tasker,  I’ve learned that my creative focus can only handle one, maybe two projects at any given time. Why? at the risk of sounding too sap ~ because I give my creations "my heart". There’s just no other explanation, and this also means that my energy has to be allocated wisely. 

After what feels like a rather long painting and creating hiatus, it’s time for some new Creative Thursday creations!


That’s where I’ve been, quietly creating. 


And this means that the video experiment is temporarily on hold because creative energy is going to some newness ~ including gocco prints which you see a glimpse of above. And on that note, everything is also temporarily on hold, as I’m heading to the beach for a few days for what is becoming our annual mini surf trip. {Next year, I say Hawaii!} 


While I’m away I leave you with one of my first podcasts where the table is turned and questions are being asked of me by the lovely Kelly over at Women Wise Marketing. And Molly invited me to share some thoughts on her blog. And you should check out Christine’s very "real" and thoughtful post about artists and making money among other thoughts on what it means to be successful.


Have a wonderful week, as our summer slowly winds down. I don’t know about you, but it’s beginning to feel like this fall will be the beginning of lot of good newness, don’t you think? Like a lot of the heaviness that has been weighing people down is beginning to lift. I think it’s time.

I love those new gocco prints and i am looking forward to new Creative Thursday creations! :) Have a lovely wonderful time @ the beach! Surf up! :) Have a lovely merry week and love to you!
You are always such an inspiration, Marisa. You are such a good reminder to be true to yourself and that it's okay to change course if it's not working or not the right time. I definitely needed that today. Love the new work - but I always do!
The gocco prints look very promising! Have a great beach vacation and take care surfing the waves!
Marisa, you are such a sweet soul. Thank you *ALWAYS* for putting your beautiful intention out there into the universe!

Hi Marisa. I just found your Etsy shop and your blog thru SouleMama's blog. I wanted to tell you how much your art work touched me. I think I just made every one of your prints a "fave!!" I can see that you put your heart into everything you create. I feel overwhelmed too when I have more than one or two creative projects going on at the same time. You truly have been blessed with a gift and I thank you for sharing it with all of us. I'm also thankful to SouleMama for introducing me to you!! Have a wonderful day. Namaste.

Great site! I love that you are helping other artists to navigate the internet. Trying to get your art out there is very much like being in a fish bowl, I'm just getting started this summer at trying to sell paintings online. So thanks for the encouragement.
