Care December: Good Intentions
What a year it's been (I think I say that every year!)...but this year has been different. 2022 has been the year I decided to take the first step towards my art business. I created my website, I deleted my social profiles and created FB and Insta accounts dedicated solely for art. I cleaned out the spare room in our house and created an art studio where I can design, paint and play - and do my art degree as well (sweet, huh?) I am blessed. I am extremely fortunate to live near a beautiful stretch of coastline that offers endless inspiration - not just for my seascapes, but for creativity and mindset in general.
Speaking of mindset, this brings me to the subject of this post! Care December.
Sooo, Care December is a free offering run online via https://www.everything-art.com/. It's an opportunity to give yourself more space for self expression through art making and self care through the month of December.
My first journal entry is: Good Intentions
This was interesting because I initially thought my intention for Care December would be to simplify and invest in self care...and it is, however something that resonates with me is that I do not spend enough time simplifying my home life. So my intention is to invest in self care practices in the comfort of my own home. I created this piece "Home Sweet Home" because this is ultimately my safe space, the location of my art studio and a place where art and creativity come to life. When I don't nurture this space, it becomes chaotic and I start to feel out of alignment. So my intention is to bring as much love, joy and nurture into my home as possible.
I used acrylic paint, die-cuts & stencils by #paperrosestudios, distress ink by #timholtz, collage paper by #dinawakely
