Live painting at Lululemon this weekend was so much fun! A BIG thank you to everyone at Lululemon for this wonderful opportunity to do such a cool art collaboration!
And a warm thank you to all those who stopped by, as well as those who couldn’t make it in person, but are always super supportive of my art journey! Especially @tyson.midnight, who worked so hard picking up all the slack when I got super busy with all the art shows this year! 😘
This was my first time doing a live painting session, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect—but it was a blast and I even managed to complete 4 paintings from scratch!
I wasn’t sure how distracting it would be to paint in public...but I didn’t find it hard to concentrate at all. It was just like being in a shared studio space, or sketching at a crowded museum—even though people come up and talk to you, the art takes over and you get into the flow and do your thing.
In a few ways, I actually found it to be less distracting than it can get sometimes in my home studio when one of my kids needs something urgently and I’m trying to manipulate fluid inks and high-flow acrylics that I know just aren’t going to be in the same state by the time I get back!
For those of you in San Francisco, or visiting soon, I still have a bunch of pieces up at Lululemon (on Fillmore Street) until November 10th, so pop in and check it out if you are in the area!
