It’s finally officially the last month of 2020… 2021 is still a blur but as my Soul Whisper for next year came to me, I realized I did not open back the commissions for the mini paintings in my Etsy shop. It’s now right there if you want to honour your guiding word.

Each mini mixed media painting is custom made to your likings. You tell me your favorite color-s and your word, and then I go with it.
I meditate first, and then I intuitively paint.
When the painting is finished, I send you a picture so you know this is what you were expecting and if I get your “go”, I will charge it with Reiki and smudge it before packing it and sending it your way 🙂

These are a real treat for me, they fill me with hope and joy. And it’s a perfect gift, for yourself or for a loved one <3

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t: what are you waiting for??), you know that I started the 100 Day Project this year (and I talked about it here). I am behind and could even say that I will not complete it BUT I am not giving up.
Like my 100 Nixies project, I will not set a deadline but will do my best to work every day on something. Even if it is just making a mark or starting a background.

Here is the video:

Do you like painting abstract? I still find it intimidating so if I could, I’d sign up for all the classes 😉
You’ll see that I had fun using different media for this piece, acrylic paint and markers, oil pastels, modeling paste, stamps… Everything I love most or almost. Because this is what these 100 paintings are about: finding my creative joy again.
And thanks to it, because for weeks on end I only painting abstract, Nixies actually came back full force, nudging me to let them speak.

Happy Monday !

It’s been forever since I shared with you a new Nixie. Not a lot of them are emerging so when they do, they feel extra special to me. I decided to paint for fun. To create what I need to figure out. This is how Glawdys came to be.

I started playing on the INSERT SIZE canvas board with stencils and sprays and went from there. You know that I never plan but I listen very closely to everything I create (do I sound crazy yet ?).

I let the symbols and colors make me feel something. And from the feeling Glawdys emerged and told me her story. This is a very personal Nixie as she was made with my two daughters at heart.

She’s looking for a new home

I charge every painting with some crystals and some Reiki. A lot of love and care goes into packing her up so she can arrive safely to her new home.

Good morning !

For this new video project, I decided to paint what I needed: a reminder of sorts. You know by now that I love adding symbols to my art. For you who look at it, as well as for me.

Here is the video:

Stencils can truly be very versatile ! I love stamping with mine, for example. And you can be bold or subtle with them. That’s what I wanted to share with you in one project.

Some photos:

For my last project as a video creator for ColourArte, I decided to showcase my love for stencils and used them with almost every products the brand has.

I work in layers, always. Some you will never know existed when you look at the finished painting. But for this specific one, I wanted them all to be visible and using ColourArte’s product with stencils gave me that freedom of movement and choices.

I love using gesso as my first layer, it add grit to the surface so I am sure the product will adhere to it. As you can see, I like to leave some blank space so the wood still show through, it adds a really nice interest with the sprays reacting differently on gesso than on naked wood.

I love this big stencil from Donna Downey (scroll down for the list of supplies I used in this project) and it was perfect for my 8×10″ wood panel.
