Update: SOLD 🐝 finishing up a few details on s Update: SOLD 
🐝 finishing up a few details on some 2020 pieces this week and planning a few new surreal pieces for 2021. 
My new year is off to a disorganized start and that’s ok. My studio space is multipurpose and very cramped at the moment. Drying my work without bumping into it has always been an issue. 
Where do you all dry your paintings? Do they hang up or lay flat? I dream of building a floor to ceiling drawer cabinet that somehow has ventilation and yet keeps the dust out. 
 I hope you all have had an ok week! 
More eye pieces will be in my shop later this month!

🖤It’s #swartcommunity day 🖤 If you’re n 🖤It’s #swartcommunity day 🖤 
If you’re new here, SW art community is an unofficial community of artists. I share posts from the tag in my story and sometimes my feed. Any of you in the community are welcome to share posts or suggest a challenge of some kind. 
When I first started my ig account, I didn’t know any other artists. I found it very difficult to find a community that would answer my questions, offer an opinion, or share resources. 
My hope is that the tag creates opportunities for us to learn from each other, share techniques, ask for help, or chat about #artlife. 
Tap through my story today for a virtual gallery of visual art! I may back track a bit and share some things I’ve already shared since I haven’t been able to see the hashtag the last few weeks.
If you see something you love leave a like or comment on the original post rather than responding to my story! 
You’re welcome to join if you’re looking for a community of creatives. All you have to do is use the tag on your post (remember, I can’t share your posts if your account is private) and encourage other artists that use the tag every once in a while through likes, comments, or shares. There’s no pressure to follow anyone and it’s up to you how involved you’d like to be! 
Have a great weekend everyone!

Continuing the melting eye theme with botanicals t Continuing the melting eye theme with botanicals that could be found in my grandmother’s garden growing up. Although, she didn’t have this specific variety of Iris 😉. 
According to the Petal Republic website, the Greek name “Iris” translates to “rainbow” and refers to the Greek goddess of the rainbow. In several stories she connects the gods to humanity as a messenger. 
 The other lovely meanings are hope, faith, communication, and wisdom.

#artvsartist If you just started following me thi #artvsartist 
If you just started following me this week, hello! 
I’m Shelby, I work mainly in oil, and thoroughly enjoy melting things with my brush. 
This is the most recent picture I have and it’s from July. I suppose I could’ve used something else, but I thought it was a pretty honest version of myself 😎.

If you’re an artist and would like to join a community of artists use the tag #swartcommunity and I’ll share your work in my story and sometimes in my feed. All I ask is that you look around the tag and encourage other artists in the group. Remember, your profile must be public for me to see your posts! The tag just became visible again so I’ll do another SW Art Community day soon! 
 For those already in the group, I’d like to share your #artvsartist2020 so let me know if you plan on posting one! 
Thanks for following along! 🖤
