I walked into the studio today. It’s become a bit of a storage unit lately. I need to stop that habit  🤦‍♀️ A friend texted me this morning, asking an art related question & I had to look through my books to spell someone’s name  😆  but it forced me into the studio! It was just for a few minutes, but it felt really good. Thanks for the reminder that you didn’t know I needed  ❤️

Enjoying a rare moment to myself.  Life’s been a little bumpy. I’ve transitioned into a full-time caregiver which means my art will have to take a backseat for a while. I’m hoping to continue with some quick sketches & exercises once I’ve settled into a routine. See you from time to time ❤️

I tidied up the studio the other day & found some older works on paper. I remember painting these on a rainy day, so it only seems fitting to share them today, another rainy day. #worksonpaper #art #artwork #originalart #abstractart #abstractpainting #joannacrawshaw

The kiddo is back in school today & I keep telling myself to start tidying the studio, but I find myself needing to sit in the sun & enjoy the quiet with my coffee 🤷‍♀️ #coffee #morningcoffee #winterbreakisover
