Getting out of your comfort zone

Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, that you should ride the wind instead of fighting against it? 💙 Sometimes we'd rather stay in our comfort zone, where we feel safe and in control, rather than going into uncharted waters. I hear ya! I'm the same way! But when it's time to change direction, if you fight it, you might very well be keeping yourself from experiencing something even better than can even imagine.

Big things are just around the corner...but you first have to step into the fullness of who you are. I know it’s scary, but it is the way to everything you’ve dreamed about and more.

Step out in faith and watch what happens! 🙏🏻

I love you! Have a beautiful day! ❤️

Studio Vlog - Peek at new acrylic painting studies + creative process

As promised, here’s my first studio vlog in many years. I used to do these on occasion and really enjoyed sharing my thoughts and process in this manner. So I’ve decided to start them up again! Hope you enjoy watching! Let me know if you use painting studies in your art practice to experiment with different painting techniques and tools. And if so, how it has helped your art skills and creativity? Did you do them in a sketchbook or journal….or did you just use loose art paper, art board, or watercolor paper?

Please leave me a comment below. I’d be to tickled hear from you! Even if it’s just to say that you enjoyed the studio vlog and you’d like me to post more of them.

Oh and for those of you who are interested in what art supplies I used here, I’ve included a linked list of supplies for you below. The ones marked with an * are affiliate links and I may receive a small commission if you choose to make a purchase.

Much love and bunches of hugs!

Shop update this week!

Abstract art in progress

I'm busy this week with taking pictures of all the new art, editing photos, and such so I won't be doing much in the way of painting this week as I need to focus all my energy on admin things.

Which means I have a bunch of new art for you! I believe I counted 17 new paintings!

Yea! 

And there's all sizes...so if you need a small painting to beautify that desk or shelf, or if you have big empty wall that needs a big dose of color.

I've got ya covered. :D

I'll be updating my online shop with all the new paintings later this week, but if you don't want to miss out,   sign up to be notified here: http://www.pauletteinsall.com/newsletter-sign-up
