I'm a mom, and nurse who found a passion for watercolor painting during the pandemic. Lover of books, learning and all things art! ✨️
Still no traction on Threads or here for art but I will maybe keep posting. My original intentions for my IG was to visually journal my self teaching art journey anyway so why quit?! One of my favorite recent works, for my Mom ❤️ #art #mastoart #watercolorpainting
Finished up this yesterday. I don't often do paintings that will take more than one session but I've done a few lately as I'm trying to continue to make time for art. #watercolor #watercolorart #art #watercolorfall #mastoart #mastodonart
Been trying to get back to making time for painting. This had some difficult ugly phases to get past but I persevered and am really pleased with how this came out. The more I look at that moose the more surprised and impressed with my self I am.

Pumpkins still a work in progress but working on some spooky Halloween paintings now that I have a minute. Still feels good 😊
One of the best things since that has happened to me since becoming a travel nurse is not only seeing the beauty of this country I live in, but the peace I've found I've found in being alone. I don't worry about going to do things by myself. If I want to see or experience something I do it, alone or not I'm not worried. I've found a peace I never knew existed in my alone time.
Little project I finished up this morning. Now about to head out to pottery studio for some fun and practice.

One of my fav florals I've ever done. ❤️
I painted it when I was back home in FL for a visit. My hand lettering beneath came out really well which made me so happy 😊

I painted this recently just playing around with some of my cheap supplies. The softness is really working here though ❤️

Working on this guy today. Slow going and bit of a struggle. I haven't done anything so detailed for awhile. Using a combo of watercolor and Derwent Inktense pencils. Reference photo from unsplash. #art #watercolor #selftaughtartist #mastoart #artoftheday #watercolorart #WatercolorBirds
