Sometimes, sharing the progress while creating a painting is all it takes to get inspired and stay inspired. I use these quick exercises on a canvas to help me work out the ideas that are floating around in my head. Sometimes these ideas amount to something, other times they don’t. The beauty of working on a canvas is that I can create layers and layers until it feels right. Tomorrow when I come back and look at this with fresh eyes there is a good chance I will see something new, an area that wants or needs to more. I do this over and over again until the color and texture feels right. Then, the best part of all happens- the mark making. Layer upon layer of marks to make something more simple feel much more my own. And so it happens. This is how I create. • • • #painting #paintinginprogress #paintingpeek #mixedmediaart #markmaking #mixedmedia #artmarks #iamamarkmaker #raemissigman #studiopeek #artofinstagram #artistofinstagram #artinspiration

I love when you finally know your own work well enough to recognize that the ugly stage means something awesome is coming. #workingbig #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #painting #paintingpeek #makingmymark #raemissigman #artpeek #paintingpeek #markmaking #makingmymark #markmakingmakesmehappy #artmarks #iamamarkmaker

Reminding myself today that we all need to do what makes us happy...Ignoring the judging and just being happy with the life we have created, the life we are living. Our own personal and often crazy worlds might not be for everyone but if they are what puts the light in our life then that is all that matters. #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #thrive #painting #paintingpeek #createwhatyoulove #raemissigman #abstractart #markmaking #markmakingmakesmehappy #artmarks #iamamarkmaker (at Florida)

A favorite corner of a favorite painting. Art offers us the opportunity to reinvent ourselves each time we sit down to create. I love the simple fact that no matter how many times I attempt to recreate something I always end up with something different. The inevitable twists and turns of making art helps to pave the way for new ideas and so duplicates are rare. I learn this way. I learn what I love and what I don’t. I learn the hard lessons of covering things up and letting go of what I can’t change. And I learn to recharge my creative self by pushing the rules aside and allowing inspiration to take the wheel. Do you ever try to recreate your favorite pieces? . . . P. S. I used my new #closedleavesstencil from my #urbantexturesstencilcollection from @stencilgirl_products to create the base for these colorful led leaves. . . . #painting #paintingpeek #stencilgirlproducts #artjournal #artjournaling #artmarks #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #markmakingmakesmehappy #markmaking #raesstencils #raemissigman
