So I’m finally in my new home state! It feels a little bit crazy and unbelievable. I received these beautiful paints from @jerrysartarama just before I left Chicago, but I did not get a chance to paint until yesterday! It’s been too long, and painting process feels a little bit clumsy. I hope that I can get back into the groove soon 😊. The vegetation here is beautiful, and I fully expect tropical plants to quickly sneak into my artwork. I’m sure that I will miss the prairies though. I’m curious to see how will my art evolve!

This is the last piece I’ve finished while living in this house! I have so many mixed emotions right now...The place is mostly empty at this point, but I saved most of my art supplies for the very end. I’m excited, and also a bit scared about our life in a new place. I have a feeling that my work will reflect my new environment :D.
I am very happy thought, that the Table Studio from @jerrysartarama arrived just before my move :). It will make creating art during transition time a lot easier. ——————————————————————————#newadventure #movingsucks #lovepainting #lukasaquarell #lukaswatercolors #mimiksquirrel #flowers ——————————————————————————

I keep staring little pieces in order to try to relax lately. I wonder if I can make a painting that has solely plants, and resist populating it with some tiny critters :D! (I guess I should try to finish one of them though...) I’m really enjoying this set of Lukas watercolors that @jerrysartarama sent me❤️ I would love to try out more colors in the future! (And make larger paintings! There’s something about pan watercolors that makes me want to paint bigger. It would be amazing if there came a time when I could just focus on painting ❤️

Breaking in new watercolor sketchbook with my Lukas watercolors. I’ve been painting with tube watercolors so long now, that I have forgotten what pan watercolors feel like. I have been enjoying these quite a bit 😍

I find over and over that I really enjoy the process of painting more than the final outcome. There’s something so exhilarating about feeling the brush against the paper, watching the paint mix (and yes, dry too!). It really makes me happy ❤️ —————————————————————————— Big thanks to @jerrysartarama for sending these paints to me!

I get sad if I don’t paint for too long! As I was cleaning, I found this half finished drawing, so I decided to finish it yesterday. The line work was created with brown micron pen (like in my older work), and it was refreshing to make a piece this way again :). I used combination of Turner Watercolors and Lukas watercolors for this one!

This picture makes me silly happy :D! I’m glad that the painting made it safely and I can’t help but smile seeing Dakota next to!
Thank you @anniestegg for the photos ❤️

This is one of those instances where it felt the painting had a life of its own. It ended up going in a completely different direction than I anticipated :) Does that ever happen to you?

I don’t have much time to paint lately, but not making art is bad for my wellbeing! So I took some time yesterday to do so. I’m looking forward to finish this one :)

I’m about to move, so I’m probably going to post lest often within the next couple months. I really wanted to get this painting out of my system though, before things get crazy ❤️ Here’s a glimpse at a work in progress :) #greenhouse #flowergirl #minipaletteinthewild #mimiksquirrel #paintinginprogress #lovepainting #aniamohrbacher

This is a third painting with this little girl, I think she might need a name at this point! What name do you think suits her :)? After the last painting, I really wanted to make something again with Lukas watercolors- this time on paper that I’m more used to :) It’s been a long time since I used pan watercolors and I really enjoyed painting with them. I also really liked this brush, it comes to the tiny point, so I made this whole painting including all the details with it ❤️. ———————————————————————— The #lukasaquarell paints and #mimiksquirrel brush were provided by @jerrysartarama ————————————————————————-
