Contemporary Abstract Painter Paulette Insall's paintings come from her heart....expressing emotion as a visual language, using pure color and expressive marks to connect and communicate. Her abstract art emits a special light and magic that is both spiritual and moving.
After weeks of unproductive house hunting, I decided it was time do something productive.....so I got my art studio back into a working state and got the custom color palette worked out for my next custom painting. Felt good!
Mixing custom paint colors to match client's room.
I've got many plans in the works (limited edition prints, clothing, and accessories featuring my art), but with most of my time and energy going into finding a new home for us, I haven't had much left over. I've found it difficult to switch gears between house hunting, family, and art with my energy reserves being so low. So just stick with me....I'm hopeful that we will find a new home soon and I'll be able to get back to art and regular life before too much longer. :)
Hard at work....I've been so busy with all the work getting our home ready to sell, that I've barely had time to paint....well paint art. ;) Since I need to have some new paintings finished by the end of the month, I realized that I had to get some time in the studio today. The house prep will have to wait! 😉😄
Haven't had time to paint in a couple of weeks....that's what happens when you're getting your house ready to put on the market. The other day, I just had to make some time to throw a little paint on a canvas..so I started a new painting so I wouldn't worry about ruining an almost finished painting.
Yesterday my organizer was here...we got the living room cleaned out somewhat and moved a solid wood bookcase into the garage to open up the room a bit. Also moved a huge IKEA bookcase out of our breakfast nook and sorted through all the stuff that had been inside.
After she left, I hung one of my paintings over this chair in the living room (where the wood bookcase used to be), which is my doggie's favorite spot. She does not like having her picture taken. Lol! Making progress....still much left to do...
...and I'm so very thankful I convinced my hubby I couldn't possibly do this all by myself (I'm organizationally challenged).
Now I wonder why I didn't hire her sooner! She is a God-send for sure! Feeling confident now that with her help I can have everything cleared out, the house staged, and ready to list on time.
Join me this week for the First Thursday Artist Showcase in Wilsonville, Oregon at Trudy's Living Room…a sweet little furniture store and design center right off of I-5. It's on March 5th from 5:00-8:00 pm. There will be live kick up your feet music from the talented "Cobblestone" Celtic Band! I'm also going to try to do a little painting demo as well, so please do stop by.
Come eat, drink, and be merry while enjoying beautiful artwork from me and other local award-winning painters!
