Art and studying are just about the only work that I can do as anything else is incredibly overstimulating to me. It’s my only means of contributing to a fast paced society that doesn’t mesh with who I am. I struggle to sell originals as it would mean setting up a stall or certain online admin related work although perhaps my support workers might be able to help me with that in the future. I don’t overly push myself as it causes me to shut down completely. Although I appreciate commissions and the orders I get, I’m still figuring out what it is I like to paint outside of the originals which is something I do on impulse and what is inspiring to me at any given time. It’s important that I find something I really like to paint that I can be paid for. ADHD means I literally have no choice but to do something that is interest based or I simply will not do it. Or I will struggle to do it on time.

I find portraits difficult as I’m naturally drawn to colours and abstract and Impressionism. If the portraits however are surrounded by an array of colours though I’m excited to do it.

I actually enjoyed painting peoples pets this year. I enjoyed the novelty of preparing the slate and how much it all popped once the varnish was sprayed. I enjoyed the gift wrapping and the packaging. I love doing additional details that clients don’t usually expect. I loved the fact that it was on slate because it meant that I had to use reds blues and yellows for low lights and highlights for it stand out from the grey of the slate. It worked perfectly and I loved my style. Painting always teaches me something. One year it was the overcoming of perfectionism. This year it’s been the overcoming of uncertainty. That although things might not be right, right now, it will all come together in the end if I use my intuition and trust in my abilities.

It’s so incredibly rewarding.

I will be taking orders again in February, for them to be ready by march and I will have 4 places for orders available.

Can’t wait to show you the orders I’ve made Christmas evening.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone. Thanks again for your amazing contributions. ❤️

Can’t show the image as it’s a gift for Christmas. I have 1-2 slots available depending on the size. If anyone would like a pet portrait, they start from £60 each. This is just under an A4 sheet of paper type size for reference.

Location is mostyn for pick up or I can deliver free if local.

I had a dream I found a surprise parcel on my doorstep full of watercolour paintbrushes and watercolours…

Ya know just one surprise paint brush would be equally as good…

Ya know when Harry Potter picks his wand…

That’s exactly the magic I feel with paintbrushes

It had been a while

I was told to stop painting and look for a proper job

Art isn’t just painting a canvas

It’s healing.

It’s generations of trauma surfacing and healing in every stroke, it’s feeling everything in a safe bubble of art without even really knowing it and getting through it. It’s a quiet mind. It’s the only time my mind is quiet

It’s knowing that my son will be better for it.

It’s for me and him

It’s sometimes the only productive thing I can achieve

It’s a time of surrender and bliss

For the wellbeing of me and there for him too

For Oscar bear.
