I challanged myself, tried my hand at fast, loose & painterly with this one. I'll be wearing my nurses hat for the next 6 nights and time will be minimal until I'm off again. I really am wanting to keep with the challenge of 30 consecutive days. Got this done in roughly 30-40 minutes #acrylicaprilday3 #acrylicapril2019 #itsnojokeacrylicapril #dailyart #dailypaintings #smallart #supportblackartist #natureart #Bees #blackartist #blackgirlpainting #blackgirlswhopaint #stlartist #stlouisartist #missouriartist #riverofjazz_art

... I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my song
singing loud and strong, groovin all day long
I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my stroll
I'll be high stepping y'all, letting the joy unfold
… I'm living my life like its golden
I went the word prompt : Warm beginnings
4x6 canvas "Golden Life"

And so it begins #Acrylicapril
30 days, 30 small paintings. Hosted by the colorful and wonderful @theartsherpa. Using either the word prompts or the image/tutorial provided will guide us on this journey. I'm unsure if I will get all 30 days in but I'm going to try.

I'll post my 1st submission later today

In 2017 I discovered my love of painting and @theartsherpa . 1 of my first tutorials was her "galatic soul" last year I sketched out a remake to see my progress and I'm just getting around to actually painting it. It's amazing to see my progress over the last 1 1/2 year
