A commissioned piece still in progress…working on winter, which I think will be the inside flap of a book.
Been at this one for a while, in between baking pies.🤪

My studio/dining room in the very early morning light.
Taking a pause from painting while I launch another creative venture: @dinisdivinepies.
Art always finds its way, I’m learning.

Turns out doodling is not mindless—this one generated an idea or two yesterday. #tba

The evolution of this self-portrait—from mental image to rough sketch to paint on canvas—took longer than I expected. But I hardly remember the experience of it, which speaks to the meditative nature of creating.
Art is meditation.

Made a pie and a painting for my good friends, @nancy895 & @christopher.espinosa.37, this weekend. Painting is what happens when the poinsettia print your pal ordered hasn’t shipped yet!
Merry Christmas!🎄

A strange little doodle, spidery/alien/crustacean-y in Autumn’s colors, which is funny cuz I made it in Mexico one May. 🤷🏻♀️
Happy Thanksgiving!

A dinner date chat tonight about the art of letting go.
And then, just before bed, the first page I open in a Thich Nhat Hanh book I haven’t reached for in months…

I’ve discovered @samfragoso and his smart @talkeasypod podcast. His recent interview of @delpy.julie is excellent.
I love how unapologetic Delpy is, about her talent and drive and success. She’s also raw and tender in moments.
This tension between strength and vulnerability lies at the core of creativity and makes me think about the courage it requires to live a creative life. To make something, share it with the world, risk failure and ridicule, and remain open to praise? It takes balls.
Anyway, just a random Saturday morning musing—but listen to the podcast…and, Julie Delpy, if you’re reading this, thank you for your example. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
