I was going to say “I’ve been playing catch up

I was going to say “I’ve been playing catch up on a few commissions the last week.”
Then I started thinking.... it’s unfair for me to call it “catching up” when I’m completing things in perfectly reasonable windows of time for the type of work I do.

It’s easy for me (and maybe you too?) to think I’m “behind schedule” because the most basic way to successfully navigate this social media app is to post regularly and produce new/good work within a few days or weeks.
I rarely share commissions so I haven’t had anything new to post the last week.
Even though I know producing new/good work that fast while working on several commissions is an expectation that no one can uphold, my ambitions forget about the limits of time, the paint, and my body.
I wish I could create everything I want with the quality I want in the time I want, but life doesn’t work that way 😅.
We all need a little space between every new piece of art or exciting news.
.
After this week, I will have some exciting things to share 👀
.
Until then, I’ll be here posting random pictures from my day or progress pictures of paintings that I hope to start again soon!

You might’ve seen this on my story earlier this week. I decided to post it because I kept going back to watch it. Most of these clips were recorded March-May of last year. 🦋🌱✨

A year later I am feeling my grandmother’s loss

A year later I am feeling my grandmother’s loss so much more than the day she left.
She was a supportive, joyful, and kind force in our lives.
I will miss her always.
A few things I’d like to say about grief-
Very well meaning people often try to use comfort as the vehicle for removing the pain of grief when the two exist side by side. I have comfort, joy, peace, and faith while feeling heartbroken that someone I love is gone.
Grief is painful and uncomfortable to experience and it’s a testimony of love that was shared. There is pain and beauty, sadness and gratitude when I reflect on a life that has so much impact on my own.
A year later I am at a different place in the grieving process, but the pain is just as potent and that’s ok.
I am so thankful that I had a relationship with my grandmother so special that losing her has been so difficult.

Each piece of art you see from me, is a direct result of her love and support in my life.
I think it’s amazing that I get to share the parts of herself she poured into me with so many of you 🌱🦋🐈‍⬛🍄🌼🍀🐛
