something pretty :: a series inspired by Iphoneography

Panels

Something pretty - something different. No characters, just flowers. A new series of fourteen mixed media originals.

I think with everything I’ve been through the last couple of weeks, I’ve just needed to be surrounded by something pretty. 

It’s no secret that I’m slightly obsessed with taking Iphone photos. It’s also no secret that I love flowers. Combine the two with my other love painting, and here you go.

There is something about nature, flowers in particular that I can stare at for hours, so calming and soothing. And the colors are incredible. I’m one of those people who always makes it a point to have fresh flowers in our home. They never last as long as I’d like them to, so I think I took all of these shots over the last year so I could make them last forever. 

Hope you enjoy them.

Oh and if you are needing inspiration this weekend, which at this moment I think I am needing, and you are here in L.A. check out one of my favorite authors Tama Kieves who will be speaking on one of my favorite subjects "Unleashing Your Calling - Creating the Work and Life You love". When I was first starting out in this journey and did not know how any of this would come together, it was Tama’s book, "This Time I Dance", that gave me hope and brought me comfort during some of  the most challenging times of building this business. I highly, highly recommend it.

Glad to read that you're back to creating (my mother's fibroid required a total hysterectomy, and took a very long time to heal from, so it's good to know it isn't always quite so dramatic). I love these, very calming, the palette is beautiful.
Why don't you get some flower in a pot? That way, they last much longer.
Hi Lucy - that only works if you are a very consistent plant care taker, which I am not
