I Am Thankful For You!

As we go into the Thanksgiving weekend here in the States, I am thinking of all the things I am grateful for. And I am grateful for you all – those who befriended and followed me on Instagram and Facebook. Thank you SO MUCH for giving me hearts when I shared my art online, for chatting with me when I posted personal thoughts and stories, for taking my classes, and for giving me feedback and reviews where I needed them the most. You have made me feel that what I do has some meaning beyond my own heart and has value, no matter how small, in the world.

And I wanted to say thank you in a personal way and to me that meant sharing a few pieces of art that I created just for myself and the originals hang framed around my studio and home. So, I have made a VERY LIMITED QUANTITY of archival prints of my original artwork and added them to my shop.

I’m also offering 15% discount on everything in my shop including art prints, art magnets, coloring books and image collections from November 22-25, 2018. No matter how many art prints you choose, you’ll only pay $5.00 in shipping (US Domestic) or $12.00 (International Flat Rate) as long as everything is shipped to the same address.

Shop here: https://mousaha.com/shop/   for Art Prints, Image Collections/Coloring Books, and Art Magnets and use code THANKFUL at checkout.

Happy Thanksgiving! May you find a lot to be grateful for 🙂

Painting inspired by Life Book Workshop

Recently I worked on a painting inspired by Tamara Laporte’s Life Book 2016 introductory lesson. I spent a week or so thinking about the painting even before I began. Obviously, I followed Tam’s visual style here but the assignment required a bit of thinking to work on the parts that would be unique to each person taking that class.

The painting is only 8×5.5 inches on white card stock- it’s basically a page torn out of my everyday sketchbook. I pulled out my acrylic paints to work on paper after an eternity. I spent some 10 hours on this painting. I painted this with my youngest in mind but the message is one that I could use too.

Sometimes looking at life and hope from another artist’s point of view can be quite interesting. I love how it turned out particularly because there are so many symbols in there that have personal spiritual significance for me. I enjoyed every moment I spent painting it.

Tam is offering many more of her lovely lessons in Life Book 2019, a self-paced online workshop throughout the year along with several other wonderful teachers. Lifebook 2019 will launch on 1/1/19. Registration has already opened.

You can sign up here. Use the Early Bird Discount code LOVEBOMB2019 at check out to get 20% off Life Book 2019! Offer expires on December 31st 2018, so hurry!
