My first oil painting, age 12 - landscape from my imagination. 🖼

Of course I’ve learned a lot more about oil paint as a medium, in the last 10+ years of my professional career as an artist. Yet I haven’t often tackled the subject of landscape painting. Thus, I’ve taken on the challenge of producing landscape en plain air studies, every month for a year since July, as part of my official @patreon page exclusive rewards. If you’d like to follow along this journey - and gain exclusive access to heaps of other content, as well as last years challenge results - feel free to sign up through the link in my bio, and become and Art Patron while investing in a living artist today! 👩🏻‍💻

Recreating kids art! 👩🏻‍🎨

We’ve all seen this concept of work before, and I’ve always wanted to attempt it myself. The perfect opportunity came about, and you can find out more about its origin - as well as see the uncensored version of the inspiration piece - on my official @patreon page through the link in my bio! 👩🏻‍💻

Starting bids for my reimagined postcard are at €5 (excluding shipping) with all proceeds being split evenly between myself and the young artist behind the inspiration piece. 🧽🍍🌊

There is endless meme potential in old paintings, especially where the representation of a certain mans best friend is concerned. 🐶

Happy Friday 13th y’all! ❤️💋🌹🍷👹💄🍎🍓🍒🌶❤️‍🔥🩸♥️

According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day, making it the most feared day and date in history. But did you know that in Italian popular culture Friday the 17th is actually considered a day of bad luck? 🐈‍⬛

I’ve personally never felt any some sort of special way about this date; it does however scare me how many people are missing out on all of the EXCLUSIVE art posted weekly on my official @patreon page! Such as this @procreate digital painting of fellow artist Kate @stormy_artpage 🪆

Gain access to the full version of this artwork, along with other perks such as sketchbook tours which will never be published anywhere else, priority invites to art shows, behind the scenes of my making process, annual art competitions, and the honour of calling yourself a Patron of the Arts - for as little as €1 per month and support a living dedicated artist today! 👩🏻‍🎨

For the past 1st month back in Latvia, I’ve been fulfilling my intention of practicing a lot of observational drawing. 👩🏻‍🎨

All of my Art Patrons have access to the 21 postcards that I’ve created in this time period, accessible through my @patreon page (and they’ll also be sent out as rewards for all my middle and highest tier Art Patrons). I’ve also made a little video preview of these works, which you can check out on my YouTube channel - LINKS TO ALL IN BIO 👩🏻‍💻

Next, I’ll be tackling proper en plein air studies… wish me luck! 🖼

Vacation mode - activated! ⛱

While on a visit to the 15th annual sand sculpture festival in my hometown of Jelgava, with this years theme being ‘Latvians in the world - from idea to legend’ I got a picture with my favourite famous artist: Mark Rothko; born Markus Yakovlevich Rothkowitz. An American abstract painter of Latvian Jewish descent. He is best known for his colour field paintings. 👨‍🎨 🇱🇻 🖼

We’d like to let you know that I am official very unavailable for the foreseeable future, and that you can reach me nowhere until I get back from enjoying this glorious hot summer. See you later alligator! 😎

And thank you to fellow MFA artist @laurenciara_art for initiating this exhibition in the first place! We couldn’t be more happier with the warm welcome that was extended to us by Jill from Arts for All @citysidebelfast 💕🖼🙌
