Days 10-12: aside from a doodle I left at work on Friday, this weekend has been me chipping away at this sketchbook entry from last summer. Playing with ghosts and changing of the seasons. ⁣ ⁣ Ain’t this world just magical? It is, that was a rhetorical question. 👽⁣ ⁣ Bringing ghosts back into my work has been the most delightful of challenges. Though to be honest, they never left. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #art #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artqueensdailychallenge100 #artqueens #artqueensdaily #sketch #sketchbook #watercolor #mixedmedia #womenartists #femaleartist #pittsburghartist #appalachia #appalachianartist #nature #naturelovers #arte #doitfortheprocess (at Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuyEdCPZSv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 8: more of my Tree Spirits. 🌲⁣ ⁣ If you follow my personal account, then you know the origin of these beautiful creatures. ⁣ ⁣ If not, I’ll tell ya: ⁣ ⁣ The Tree Spirits pay homage to three great Pines outside of my home when I was small. They were right outside my bedroom window, protecting the house and me inside. ⁣ ⁣ I talked to them, made brooms from their needles, and pulled sap out of my hair. Their cones always smelled the best, and their stories, even sweeter. ⁣ ⁣ These trees had to be cut down when we got a new house (the true beauty of growing up in a mobile home is that you can get a new house and plop it right down where your old house was- easy peasy), as it was larger than the old one. ⁣ ⁣ The stumps still remain, and I still talk to them sometimes. (Peep the 3rd pic for some stump time.) ⁣ ⁣ Digging into my roots (lol) has really helped me embrace myself- a story teller, letting these hills talk through my hands. & about 15 raccoons in a trench coat. 🦝 ⁣ ⁣ I wouldn’t have it any other way. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #art #artist #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artqueensdailychallenge100 #artqueens #appalachia #appalachianart #appalachianartist #applachianartworks #treespirits #pines #pinetrees #roots #rainbowhematite #magic #appalachianmagic #applachianwitchcraft #fineart #visualart #pennsylvania (at Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlQUbxtXZL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎨 Notes: ⁣ ⁣ You may have noticed a lot of in-progress work for this 100-day challenge I’m doing- ⁣ ⁣ Yip. That’s the point. 💅🏻💅🏻⁣ ⁣ I want to be extra prolific this year and create a variety of pieces that are attainable and affordable for a variety of audiences, as well as fun and fulfilling for me to make. ⁣ ⁣ No really- that’s my main goal this year. If I don’t enjoy what I’m making, I’m painting over it and starting again. ⁣ ⁣ I am slowly planning a show for June, and want a few large pieces peppered in with snapshots upon snapshots of small works. ⁣ ⁣ Variety is the spice of life (as well as the best way to keep my brain interested, tbh). ⁣ ⁣ #art #artqueens #artqueensdaily #artqueensdailychallenge100 #makearteveryday #dailyart #artoftheday #artist #artwork #artistsoninstagram #inprogressart #wip #painting #oilpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #paintings #landscapepainting #magic #natureart #landscape #pittsburghartist #pennsylvaniaartist #appalachia #appalachian (at Atithi Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfYbyUvTWC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For day 4 of the 100-day art challenge, I decided to think a little more on childhood- more specifically, mine. 💅🏻⁣ ⁣ I feel like millennials may be the last generation of kids that actually had to deal exclusively with wildly dangerous playground equipment- this isn’t a “kids these days have it easy” post, either. I don’t believe in shaming people younger than me because I’m jealous that they have it better- we definitely needed safer shit. 🤣 The dicey stuff still exists, but there’s definitely safer things out there. ⁣ ⁣ In this little doodle that will absolutely become a painting after I play with it some more, I have three of my favorite things to play on-⁣ ⁣ 1) the spaceship twirly thing that we had no business climbing on top of while it was moving, but did anyway. ⁣ ⁣ 2) the dangly gymnastics rings- because hanging upside down until you nearly pass out is necessary when you’re 7 and full of sugar. ⁣ ⁣ 3) the seesaw/teeter totter/whatever you wanna call it. I got a fat lip in 2nd grade from one of these when a friend hopped on the other side with another friend, flinging me over the handle bar onto my face on the wood. 😂⁣ ⁣ My upper lip still isn’t even. But damn, that was fun. ⁣ ⁣ Ps- any of my Punxsutawney elder millennials remember that awful slide/clown mouth thing at Harmon Field that was so rusted out we were sure to have gotten tetanus at some point? Nah? I distinctly remember my dad yelling “watch out, the rust can cut ya!” Before sliding down that thing. Yeesh. 🤣😂⁣ ⁣ Anyway thanks for reading pls comment a 📺 emoji if you read this far. ⁣ ⁣ #art #artistsoninstagram #artqueensdailychallenge100 #artqueens #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #sketching #playground #nostalgia #childhood #freerangekids #rust #appalachia #appalachianart #appalachianartist #womenartists #femaleartist #pennsylvania #memories (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnbAnWLtq4L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

👽 day 3 doodles: my childhood home (well, one of them). ⁣ ⁣ My parents divorced when I was 5, so I always thought I was super lucky for having two homes (plus grandma’s house- that’s 3, clearly I won 😂). This is my dad’s house- just a little sketch on this panel that used to have a moon on it. ⁣ ⁣ I made the moon with a metallic paint marker, so the oil isn’t sticking to the side- but that’s the best part. ⁣ ⁣ I didn’t care about archival quality, because sketches don’t have to be masterpieces. We don’t have to monetize everything we create. ⁣ ⁣ That’s where magic is found- in the bits that aren’t permanent. ⁣ ⁣ Thanks for sticking around for the whole ramble- if you made it this far, comment a 👽 emoji! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #art #artqueensdailychallenge100 #100dayartchallenge #painting #makearteveryday #creativehappylife #doitfortheprocess #oilpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #womenartists #femaleartist #appalachia #appalachianartist #theartqueens #artqueen #creativehabit #makingart #pittsburghartist (at Atithi Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnYUPXTtsG3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍄 today is one of those days where my ADHD pushes me to not want to focus on anything but the potential for a lunch break nap 🤣⁣ ⁣ To challenge myself, I found some binaural beats on YouTube and did a little art meditation with, -shocker- some trees, on watercolor paper with a random pen from staples- you know, just things in my desk.🌲 ⁣ ⁣ This was a great exercise in flow and focus, and gave me the time I needed to conserve spoons for my afternoon. ⁣ ⁣ I’m finding that this 100 day @theartqueens art challenge is more than just a way for me to make on the daily- it’s a new way to get to know myself, and I like that. 🥹⁣ ⁣ #art #artqueensdailychallenge100 #artqueens #artqueensdaily #drawing #illustration #penandink #ballpointpen #womenartists #femaleartist #appalachia #appalachianartist #nature #landscapedrawing #ink #quartz #quartzpoint #crystals #pittsburghartist #doodle #artchallenge #100daysofpractice #100daysofart (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUyZVHJr5f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
