December in the Art Studio

My Art Practice is Flourishing!

It's been a few months since I posted to share
my newest artwork.  So much watercolor action
has been happening and there's more than I can
share in a single post.  This is a quick highlight
to show a few of my most recent landscapes and
florals.  My art room has had some major improvements
with the addition of two more work tables.  I love
having so much flat work space now.  I can paint at one
table, flatten artworks at another, and mat and frame at
the third table.  I have been able to host a few art studio
workshops as well. 





In the past several months, I have felt my creative spirit coming alive more than ever.  I feel freer and braver than before.  The energy to create another painting from a loved landscape view is building with each new work.  My technique is less tight.  My manner is relaxed and fluid.  I come to the art table with a purpose of playing for 15 minutes to loosen up and relax before I begin anything serious.  I do not go directly into a painting already in progress.  I wait.  I first warm up my creativity.  Maybe because I have this mental idea in mind to warm up, the warm ups themselves are fun and lovely, too.

Today, I am sharing just a few of the recent watercolors that are now soon to be available for purchase.  There are many more but I need to get back to painting so this is a preview of more to come.  One of my 2019 goals will be a website.  I am working through my list of tasks to make that a reality.  If there is something here that you would like more information about, please email me at christysheeler.artist@gmail.com.  I am happy to send an invoice through Paypal or Square.  Shipping costs are additional.

Thank you, as always, for stopping by to visit me here.  I appreciate that you would give up a few minutes to see what is happening in my artist world.  It's wonderful to create with my watercolors and even better that I am able to share with art lovers as well.
