This summer I painted this watercolor of different people and sizes swimming and having fun. I love the idea of being comfortable in your skin and enjoying summer.
This is a watercolor painting in tabloid size. Prints are available if anyone is interested. I have the original hanging in my studio now. It makes me smile every time I see it.
Tek and I did the Bike for Breath again this year. You can read all about it on chsrfm.ca Who says fat girls can’t ride bikes? Who says we can’t bike long distances, no one, right?
Love Your Body: iPad painting.
This painting reminds me of a trinket I had when I was a kid. It was a plastic mermaid glued to a rock. There was something about that little trinket I loved, I think the pose is almost the same. I also like how I painted it without clear lines, like she could be part of the watery background.
Love your Body: iPad painting. I drew this from a picture I found while netless on visiting my in laws last month. I just loved how the extension of the model’s body created these beautiful shapes.
“Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own…”
Move your body, no matter the size or restrictions. In movement we learn what our bodies can do, and we can learn to love them. Love your body, love the skin you are in.
I really like how this one came out. I painting this from a photo I saw on tumblr, reblogged and shared so often I can’t find the original poster or photographer, but it was inspiring.
