NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL

 Hi friends,

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying some lovely Fall weather, it’s my favorite season but it’s still pretty warm here in Southern California still.

I have been taking a bit of a social media break since August and on my time off felt a little restless so I started a YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago and I’ve really been enjoying making the videos.

Since I started creating online art classes in 2020 on Skillshare I discovered how much I love filming and editing and everything in between so creating YouTube videos have been so much fun! I have some painting videos as well as a FREE LESSON from one of my SKILLSHARE classes already posted.

Here is my first video:

I hope you’ll check out my new channel, if you like what you see so far please hit the SUBSCRIBE button

Here is a painting from this weeks video:

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,

Michelle

BACK TO BLOGGING

 Hello Friends,

I can’t believe how much time has gone by since I’ve last blogged. So much has happened, good and bad. My Mom passed, Covid hit, I lost 90% of my Petsitting business and I had cancer. But I wouldn’t have changed any of it because I think it’s made me stronger and my faith has grown. Everything has been a part of God’s plan.

I hope and pray that you are all well and that you have been creating lots of beautiful things over the last few years.

During the Covid lockdown I was looking for something to divert my attention from the news so I decided to create and publish a class on SKILLSHARE and I discovered how much I loved teaching. So I created 3 more classes and have loved every minute.

During the time when I was caregiving for my Mom who had Dementia, I watched hours and hours of Skillshare classes to keep me in the painting loop. I was way too exhausted to paint much so I just watched painting classes. After my Mom passed I looked at the hours I had watched and decided it was time to make my own class. It has been a wonderful experience.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. I had surgery and then went through months of chemo. As I was recovering last year I drew my first “Jesus Girl” as I call them and I’ve been painting them ever since.

I’ve also started painting florals in acrylic and mixed media and love working with so many beautiful, bright colors and textures.

I’ve been posting a lot on Instagram these days but it feels really good to be writing again.

Please let me know how you are doing, what you are working on creating, I’d love to hear from you!

God bless you,

Michelle❤️🎨🙏🏻🌸😘💕
