What I've come to learn about the definition of 'success' mid 40s.

To many the idea of success means money, luxuries, cars, 'stuff' materialism ..the ideology that modern life has ingrained across the western world.

The older I get, the more peace I have found in the day to day that I am fortunate enough to class and call success.

I am able to take my kids to and from school every single day. I'm there to support everything they do, their dreams, their passions. Cook for them every night. Put them to bed. Work from home, in and around it all. Seize day dates with my partner in crime. Have the freedom to be spontaneous, and make the most of it. Travel. Keep fit. Make time for people.

Being an artist, we are very rarely satisfied, and always chasing what can be created next. Usually before finishing the last piece. Some months are slow. The run up to Christmas usually crazy. No two are the same, and the vulnerability and unpredictability of this part of self employment is no joke, and not for the faint of heart. But to be able to do it in the first place....every order, every sale, every enquiry, every compliment....however big, however small...to be able to do it at all, around all of what I cherish and hold so dear...

To me is the definition of success.

Chase your dreams. Make time for what you love. Enjoy the simple things in life. It is fleeting.
The most peace I have found this year is from the realisation that every day, to be able to do what I love around those I do, is the biggest blessing of all.

It may be my favourite so far....

Back at the start of summer I had a sudden and overwhelming feeling of not needing but wanting to fill a void that I felt had been building for a while. (Also most likely connected to some sort of mid 40s life crisis, I am well aware! 😂😂🫣)

Long before I painted (and self taught) watercolours, and long before the likes of social pages the way they are today, I painted acrylics. Large canvases, based on mood, feeling and emotion.

My watercolour work is known for being loose, colourful, bright and eye catching.

My venture back down this path, is running concurrent, but is definitely more subdued and muted. Both in style and approach, and definitely only when the mood takes me....but this one I've really enjoyed.

I have created a new Instagram account that documents and follows this journey seperately into acrylics and canvases ,as oppose to confusing the two with those who are specifically interested in, have followed and enjoy the watercolour works and have done for years.

As with any new page, any follows, likes or shares would be greatly appreciated. Especially all those who've been here for a long time 🥰 I have always been so lucky with the support I've received with my work, and remain eternally thankful for all of it.

Behind the scenes......

Lots of new pieces added thanks to a busy couple of events! Restocking of favourites, and adding new items to both Etsy UK and eBay UK (link in bio via website). I have a lot of events booked in, during the coming months in the run up to the festive period, and as September looms tomorrow, it's definitely round the corner and will creep up before we know it!
