I’ve decided to upload my artwork on Red Bubble and see how it goes. Over the years I’ve tried many platforms and not sure which direction I would like to take. There is Etsy and I am thinking about Patreon. What are your thoughts? I would like to know if you prefer prints coming directly from me or another platform? I will be creating photography, art and poetry. Would like to hear your ideas. I really enjoy sharing my artwork with you. Here are some recent paintings that I’ve uploaded to Red Bubble.
Happy Friday! I’m connecting with Paint Party Friday today! Check PPF website out to see other incredible artwork from artist around the world! Get cozy with a cup of tea or coffee and have a look. Have a magical Friday my friends!
These pieces are from the beginning of my Moleskine Art book.

With so much going on in the world I want to focus on the positive. I turned the news off. I’m staying home and doing things that keep me happy. I hope to bring some inspiration and positivity to you my friends. Stay happy and do things you love. You now have the opportunity to read, paint, write and do what ever your heart desires creatively. Keep active as much as you like. You can watch movies, meditate, exercise and get fresh air on your balcony or backyard. Cook, clean, organize and dance. Put the music on and sing or play games. Keep smiling, this too shall pass.

I hope you had the opportunity to check out my hula hoop skills in the video! lol 😝 oh to be a kid again! Had my girls do some fun art yesterday. I also did some collage journaling and paintings. Here are the lovely pieces.
First one is Abstract art by my eldest.
This piece is an abstract by my youngest.
Here are my pieces.
Collage
I sometimes draw inspiration from colours, patterns and textures when I create collage work.
This piece is a watercolour with ink. It’s my hubby’s favourite painting.
I’m sending you all my positivity and love. I hope you are all safe and healthy. Don’t forget to have some fun at home and stay positive. This too shall pass.
I also received beautiful loving gifts from my husband. Flowers and Chocolates. He is very romantic. ❤️
Grateful for my health results
A lot of PA Days
The month ended with more doctor appointments.
I feel that February was testy and a little tedious to me.
I was a little irritated with social media. I focused on things that I enjoy and that make me happy. I’m so grateful for everything that I went through in February and I’m also glad the month is over.
I’m happy March is here and I look forward to Spring. How about you? How was your month? I hope you are all well and happy.
Happy Paint Party Friday my friends! I’m linking up with the lovely Paint Party Friday Group of talented artists. If you Love art check out these inspirational artist.
I hope you had a lovely week. One of my favourite things about Autumn is the beautiful change of colours on the leaves. They are absolutely breathtaking to look at. I wanted to create two paintings to bring that beauty and colour indoors during this time of the year.
I started off with two canvases that I previously painted but didn’t really care for. I love painting over already painted canvases because of the texture.
I then chose the colours for my background.
I applied the paint all over the canvases and let it dry.
I added trees and branches.
I used my hot glue gun to add faux leaves. I bought the leaves from the dollar store.
I kept layering and layering more leaves and branches and I also splattered some crayon wax on top for texture.
I hope you enjoyed my art for this Friday. I wish you all a beautiful weekend and thank you so much for visiting my blog!
