every Day May

This May (2022), I will be embarking on a new challenge where I will create one mini painting every day for the entire month.

I am calling it Every Day May.

This challenge is about making creativity a daily practice, prioritizing artistic expression, and creating inspiration on-demand, all while focusing on the enjoyment of the process. Every day in May I will share each daily artwork I create on Instagram. By the end of the month, I will have completed 31 new mini paintings.

On Tuesday of every week in May 2022, I will release the previous week's artwork.

In September 2020 my husband and I took a trip to Prince Edward County. Traveling during that time was a very different experience, but this brief trip was filled with both adventure and leisure. We went from exploring unique white-sand beaches to driving back roads to wineries. This gorgeous, quaint area will always be a special place for us. If you ever get the chance to visit, do yourself a favor and stop at Slickers for ice cream. It’s my absolute favorite ice cream in the world!

Elora is a little town in Ontario that my husband and I fell in love with in January 2019. We were newly engaged and looking for a place to host our wedding. We went for a tour at the beautiful Elora Mill and it was love at first sight. It quickly became our favorite place and we still vacation there to this day.

This week’s paintings are inspired by our many trips to this charming town, all of which hold a special meaning to my family. In many ways, these artworks are my “love letter” to Elora.

 Over the past few months, I have been slowly getting to know a new home in a new place. What once was unfamiliar is beginning to feel like home. I have been searching for the beauty in my every day and finding inspiration all around me. I have especially fallen in love with the sunsets and sunrises here, which seem extra grand. To honor this new place, this week’s series of paintings will be focused on my home.
