Hello friends ! 😀
As we find ourselves in the heart of summer, I wanted to share a little update on my life and art journey over the past few weeks. Balancing work and family can be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding, especially when you find ways to blend the two seamlessly.
If you’re in a similar situation, you know how challenging it can be to work during holidays and find time for family. I often feel guilty when I’m working and not spending time with family, and vice versa. This struggle led me to find creative solutions to avoid having stressful vacations, something I’ve experienced in the past.
Balancing Act: Family and Art
This summer, I’ve been working on finding that perfect balance between my art and spending quality time with family. Here are a few strategies that have helped me maintain this balance and stay inspired:
Vacation Routine: During my recent trip to the countryside to visit family, I found it helpful to reserve my mornings for work and the afternoons for family activities. This routine allowed me to stay productive while still enjoying precious moments with loved ones.
Incorporating Family into Activities: I’ve been incorporating family into my daily walks and stretching routines. It’s a wonderful way to stay active and share these moments together. Walking through the beautiful countryside and stretching outdoors has not only been great for our health but also a source of inspiration for my art.
Exploring New Places Together: Our visits to see the stunning illuminations in Chartres and Le Mans were both fun and creatively invigorating. Exploring new places with family has sparked new ideas and provided a fresh perspective for my work. These adventures are perfect for gathering inspiration while creating lasting memories.
Artistic Endeavors
Amidst the family time and exploration, I’ve been busy working on several exciting projects:
- Pride Month Portraits: Although a bit late, I’m thrilled to share my portraits of Crowley and Aziraphale, created to celebrate Pride Month.
- YouTube Journey: I’m also gearing up to launch my YouTube channel! I’ve been filming, editing, and absorbing tutorials to bring you engaging content.
- New Additions to My Shop: Stay tuned for updates on new prints, original portraits, and collectible holographic cards from my sepia and rainbow portrait collection. I’m excited to share these with you soon!
