painting day

My studio is really my living room that I make incredibly messy while i go on a painting binge.  This is where i make a disaster, paint is on the floor, on me, music is playing from my computer (or I have a netflix marathon on tv). I absolutely love painting days. Took a lunch break to enjoy the first patio of the year :)

This mornings fog over Toronto

Wokeup super early to do a 30km bike ride into work (to Toronto), was hoping to see the sunrise over the city. However there was a beautifully eery fog over the sleepy city this morning, absolutely loved the silhouettes.

schoolism

I was lucky enough to be sent to a weekend of Schoolism seminars on march 28-29. Listened to inspiring speakers and their creative wisdom and approaches. I filled at least 15 pagse of notes and doodles, here's a little peak.

If you ever get to attend a Schoolism seminar I highly recommend it!

painting my heart out

Today I finally had a day all to myself and was able to paint all day long, something I have wanted to do for awhile. All trees as I am in love with trees and desperately want winter to end.
