“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” — Henry Ward Beecher
The past few months I’ve had the wonderful privilege of taking another amazing class with one of my favorite artists, Wyanne Thompson. I’ve taken several classes with Wyanne over the past few years and each time I’ve learned so much from her! She has an amazingly unique gift of teaching, guiding, encouraging and challenging her students to take their work to new horizons. In her Paint Free class she has gently guided and pushed me to explore myself more deeply as an artist and helped me to dive through the multi-layers of who I am to further develop my own unique artistic style. It has been eye-opening, challenging, healing, inspiring and so revealing! I’ve loved it!! Here are a few of the pieces I’ve created through this class.

These pieces are quite different for me. I've been working to paint very intuitively, allowing the pieces to develop organically rather than forcing things. I have a tendency to over think my process and I'm working to "let go" and just let my heart guide me!
I’m still working on the two final projects, but hope to share them with you soon! :)
Happy creating,
Jennifer

Of the three you posted, my favorite is the second. I agree, it's quite a departure from your usual style, but it's still really impressive.
Love the colors in "Loosely Free". The lines in all three are sensational, though- the curves, swirls, circles. Everything comes together nicely. Like "Purple Kitty" a lot, too! :)
What an amazing creative journey you have been on!
