Creative Friday: Got My Paint Brush On

I’ve been dabbling here and there with painting my own mini calendars. But I’ve been craving something more. So I devoted a whole night to enjoying the pure sensation of painting.

Although it’s no van Gogh or da Vinci, it’s still my own. And plus, I know you guys won’t judge (too harshly) right? Anyway, engaging in something creative feels healing to my soul. Here’s something I whipped up in a water color painting fury.

And for a fun sepia version:

It’s inspired by Sedona sunsets and the colors from my hometown of Oahu.

Have you been whipping up something crafty yourself lately?

I’ve been on a crazy crafting binge since 2012 and have stocked up 3 weeks of creative posts to share with you. But I’d love to know what you’ve been working on. If you’ve got it, flaunt it in the comments below.

    Very pretty! I love the colors.

    I actually got a super-strong gust of inspiration yesterday and wrote out a short story that I’m very excited about 🙂 Yay for creative inspiration!

      Woohoo! Good for you!! Now you’re my inspiration. What’s the story about?

        It’s kind of a weird story about a teen boy who is dating his teacher, and when it comes time for him to leave for college, his teacher retracts her recommendation because she can’t stand to see him leave. It’s sort of strange, and has beached dolphins and a car accident and a lot of references to the Chekov play Three Sisters… lol.

          I’m intrigued. Are you planning on getting it published?
