  • Merry Making .. a personal painting from a while back that I really loved working on, finding fun in all the little characters. Some paintings do seem to flow out effortlessly while others take time and there is a lot of pausing and stepping back, trying things and painting over and then after a while it clicks together. This painting is so much about my joy but I’ve been struggling to find it in my personal work of late.. I haven’t painted purely for myself in a while and can feel the looming voice of self doubt after having what feels like a long break. I’ve taken a lot of time out this year to take care of myself and I’m noticing how when I don’t pack in all my spare time with work I have more space for uncomfortable feelings to actually emerge. I’m in a period of that just now, I’m not really sure what the way through is and how I get back into the swing of things and also don’t burn out trying to do it all? I’m guessing other creatives might feel this way periodically and know how to handle it but I’m feeling worried I’ve lost my flow and can’t get it back 😢#creativeblock #makingart #maketimeforart #gouachepainting #fosterthoughtfulness #illo #illustrationnow #gemmakoomen #asimplestill

  • Pieces of String... I had a little break last weekend from my routines and social media, some time away in nature with deep connections to special people and it’s got me into a very reflective space. I’m thinking about what this little illustration means to me, as almost all of my work stems out of a subconscious place I often reflect on it after to see what meaning might be there. The thoughts arising are something about the connections of things, the same thread in the nest that gathers the flowers. An appreciation of small, humble things that mean a lot, symbols of making a safe space and also about gathering and giving gifts. The process of art making is so intriguing to me, the digging deep into self and seeing what is there. Although I can disconnect to this through the routines of running a business and maintaining all the responsibilities, I feel that’s essentially what keeps me motivated to keep making. #reflectivemood #fosterthoughtfulness #introspection #meaningmaking #myartwork #gouachepainting #gemmakoomen

  • Cultivate print .. I’m so happy with this new print, painting tiny ladies and big flowers gets me into my happy place. I’ve been busy with a big project that I can’t share yet and waiting for a chance to update my shop, thanks so much to everyone who has requested things and been patiently waiting! I’m hoping to get everything listed this weekend. Juggling work, family life and all the things causes me to surrender to getting things done when they are ready and not so much when I tell myself they should be ready! It’s a big learning for me to not pack in so much into my time after feeling like I burnt out earlier this year so I’ve been trying to cultivate a new mentality to stop running on adrenaline to get things done but focus on doing less and choosing things that mean more to me and it feels different and good! #slowlivingforlife #embracetheseason #cultivate #mytinyeden #fosterthoughtfulness #asimplestill #myartwork #archivalartprint #seeksimplicity #gemmakoomen
