November Studio Update + Free November Desktop Calendar
Hi Art Friends,
Here is your Free November Desktop Calendar, your daily dose of kindness. This month’s image “Kindness” is an 18×24 inch acrylic mixed media piece, with rich textured layers. Kindness was inspired by the book “Self Compassion – The proven Power of being Kind to Yourself” by Kristen Neff.
In the book Kristen writes “When we give ourselves compassion (and kindness), we are opening our hearts in a way that can transform our lives.”– Kristin Neff, Ph.D. I created this piece as a daily reminder to be kind to yourself, even among all the messy layers life can add. Honestly I am so inspired by the book and the word I may have to paint it again.
Kindness was donated to the 8th Annual Harvest & Hops CCFA West Michigan Chapter, and auctioned off to raise funds for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation at the end of October. I have an amazing friend who was honored with an award for all the transformative work she has done in this field of medicine, I am so honored to call the awesome, kindhearted Dr. Susan Kais a friend (check out her IG here).
Below is a images of what I have been up to in October, not a ton artistically as I also officiate high school volleyball and basketball. October is typically a busy volleyball month, this year was no exception. It will start slowing down after this first week of November.
That is all for now, wishing you all an amazingly beautiful day and a November filled with so much kindness.
XO, Megan Colleen
