Painting in progress

I was lost and wandering for a few years. I couldn’t paint from the heart because my heart wasn’t in anything I did. I feel more whole everyday now. Different but better!!!!

... Read moreArtistic passion can sometimes wane, especially when life challenges leave us feeling disconnected and uninspired. Many artists experience phases where their creativity feels blocked or their artwork lacks authenticity because their heart isn’t fully engaged with the process. This is a natural part of the creative journey. To reignite your passion for painting, it’s important to allow yourself time for self-reflection and exploration. Instead of forcing creativity, try shifting focus away from the pressure to produce perfect work. Engage in activities that nourish your soul—whether spending time in nature, listening to music that moves you, or exploring new artistic techniques without judgment. Rediscovering your artistic voice often means embracing imperfection and vulnerability. Painting from the heart involves tapping into your emotions and personal experiences, which brings greater depth and meaning to your work. Journaling your thoughts and feelings can also help unlock new ideas and perspectives. Remember, the journey back to feeling whole and connected as an artist differs for everyone. Patience, openness to change, and celebrating small creative victories along the way make the process rewarding. You might find your art evolving in unexpected and beautiful ways, reflecting your growth and resilience. Many artists who felt lost for years find that once they realign with their true passions, their work gains authenticity and power. If you’re feeling different but better, it’s a sign that your creative spirit is healing and ready to thrive again. Continue nurturing your inner artist—you’re not alone on this path.

Currently working on the biggest canvas yet! Very excited to see how it turns out. Some things I always tell myself to avoid stress and nerves when starting a new painting: 1. I can always paint over it and try again. 2. It’s just color. It’s just shapes. It’s just fun. 3. Trust the pr

An in-progress acrylic painting on canvas depicts a fluffy yellow bird-like creature wearing red cowgirl boots and a pink bow on its head. The background is a blend of light blue and beige. The text "In Progress Art" is overlaid, and a Lemon8 watermark is visible.

It’s a bird wearing cowgirl boots 🐦 I spent way too long on the boots, couldn’t find a reference photo for boots at that specific angle 💀 #painting #paintingprocess #paintinginprogress #artinspo #art #artistsoflemon8 #paint #acrylicpainting

Current #wip of a Scrub Jay in watercolor. Did you know Scrub jays are native to the western U.S. and parts of Mexico — especially in dry, open habitats like oak woodlands, chaparral, and suburban areas. They eat insects, seeds, berries, nuts… and love acorns so much they’ll bury them for l

Not every painting starts with an idea. Sometimes it starts with a presence. Last night the studio was quiet. No talking. No distractions. Just brush strokes… and the feeling that someone was slowly stepping out of the canvas. Paintings like this don’t feel made. They feel revea

The wolf is starting to come to life 🐺✨ Each layer of pastel brings out more of his wild spirit — from the soft fur catching the moonlight to the quiet strength in his gaze. There’s still a way to go, but seeing him emerge from the paper like this is pure magic. What do you think so far? Would

An oil painting on an easel depicts a wooden boat with a glowing lantern at its stern, floating on dark teal water amidst numerous green lily pads. Light rays illuminate the upper left of the water, suggesting a serene, nocturnal scene. The painting is a work in progress.

A cardboard piece with the word 'Barber' outlined is shown on a green cutting mat, next to a craft knife, illustrating the cutting process for the sign.
The word 'Barber' is cut out from cardboard, with some white primer or paint applied, resting on a dark blue surface, showing progress on the handmade sign.
