If you remember back a few weeks ago in this post, I mentioned a big decision I was prayerfully considering!!  I’m so excited to finally share some news and let you in on what has been keeping me so busy lately!  I’ve been asked to join the team of artists at my local Painting With a Twist studio!  I couldn’t be more thrilled and delighted to be teaching again!  I’ve already had my first class which was a surprise birthday party.  We had such a great time and the girls created some beautiful artwork!  It is amazing how God works and brings new and exciting opportunities and blessings into our lives!  This is definitely one of those times and I’m so thankful for it!

In the Studio...

“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
