🎨 Loosen Up & Make Fun Art (Fast!)If you’ve been tightening up too much at the easel lately, here’s your reminder: art doesn’t have to be serious to be good. Some of the best pieces happen when you drop the pressure, trust your instincts, and give yourself permission to play. Set a short timer, grab a couple of colours, and just let the brush wander. No rules, no overthinking — just movement, shapes, energy and fun. You’ll be surprised how freeing it feels… and how good the results can be when you stop trying to “nail it” and start letting it flow. Here’s today’s quick loose painting session

No matter how I look back over my life art has in some way been there. It has been my backdrop without knowing how or why or even when it would happen. I just knew it was there. I used to live in a caravan park in my teens and Mum would be out on a Saturday morning usually and I would set myself up on the little kitchen table with my grey lead, rubber and sketchpad. I'd sketch away while watching the Saturday morning cartoons. They were the best times just in my my own world honing my skill without knowing why really? I just loved doing it. I wanted what ever I was drawing to look exactly the same in my sketch. Lightly shading away. Most of the time my composition was like a soup sandwich but it was those moments that un- be - known to me was my training. I watched a show on the ABC here in Australia a while back on a guy named Ahn Doh not how you spell it but something like that. He was talking about how he was doing a big clean up in his garage throwing out all that he didn't use or need anymore. He said when it came to throwing out all his art gear as as he hadn't painted in years, He just couldn't do it. He then realized this was his secret desire. All the other stuff in life just got in the way. I understood as I have been in exactly the same predicament. I collect so much art gear that I will never use but I would never throw it away. We go to Uni do courses for a proper career but what is your secret desire? If everything was taken care of what would you do? I know what I'd do. Create.... That's my real secret desire.....

Hey legends, just a quick reminder… If you’ve got pieces lying around, put them where you can see them.Your own art on display does something powerful — it keeps you inspired, keeps you focused, and gives you that little boost of, “Yep… I made that from nothing.” It doesn’t have to be fancy. A shelf, a desk, the kitchen bench — anywhere you’ll walk past and feel that spark. Here are a few of mine sitting where I can see them every day 👇(Still blows my mind how a blank surface turns into something with life.) Show me yours!What’s the latest piece you’ve made, or what do you have in your line of sight right now? Drop a pic — I’d love to see what you’re creating. 🙌🎨

G'day Guys n Gals! These are all little A5 artworks that I did for my YT channel. I challenged myself to paint them in 1 minute or under and I thought they were absolute fails but looking back with fresh eyes they aren't as bad as I thought! I then used Chat GPT to moch some up in frames which gives a really nice clean look. So just because you're not feeling it at the time doesn't mean they are fails, just need some time to breathe. Some of these have already sold! Happy painting Legends! Here's a link to how I made some of these little paintings come into existence come into exitance, https://youtu.be/m4m71GIR-Sc&views
