A Girl Paints

Please excuse my Hiatus - I’m moving to the Catskills for the summer and am packing up the art studio for now! Last chance to own all of my Game of Thrones paintings because I’m truly over them

Pile 2 The magician Oh boy, not gonna lie the energy of this pile was a bit chaotic. The pile popped out and flew across my desk, it had a very *rushed* vibe too it - perhaps that’s helpful for you to hear! Slow down! Other meanings of the Magician: the power the manifest the reality or ideal situation you want is in your hands. The power is all yours. But be clear on your intentions. Let your actions, words, and goals come from your heart and not just your head.

Pile 1, and I love these cards with the description on them Other meanings of this card: be present. You know you’ve worked hard at this project for a while and end is in sight, but the end isn’t here yet. And frankly, you don’t really know how it will end. Being present and being grateful for what has occurred already - what you’ve learned and gained, will help ease any feelings of is this all going to be worth it?! It is worth it, be present with it now.

Had some lighting trouble today not sure if you can tell Group 3: The World This card felt very *chill* - I took my time picking it, it wasn’t the type of card pull where it jumps out at you. Easy does it was the vibe. What’s cool about this card is apparent the staff she holds is the same one the magician holds. This is the last card, signaling a completion. Your goals will be manifested, you are ending this chapter, you will be moving on wiser, better, cooler, richer (well, maybe ). There is a sense of closure, but let it be celebratory! This is your role in the bigger scheme of things.

Big things are afoot on this full moon. Is it Pile #1, #3 or #2 for u? #pickacard #tarot #oracle #messages #whatshouldyoudo

Message that I found helpful and hope it is for you as well! Don’t let yourself feel undervalued if you can’t post your creations to social media all the time. So many of my pieces I don’t want to share yet. I constantly feel ~weird~ about how little I can share, but I also have a job, vocations, other hobbies. Let yourself go at your own pace.

Anyone interested in any of my Game of Thrones pieces? I’m over it after what they did to Khaleesi. That finale was 20 years ago right? Feels like it. Message me if interested for price / better pictures!

Not sure if the last one will be allowed up, but the second one makes me giggle every-time I open my sketchbook. #doodlesoftheweek #doodle #sharpiedoodle

Card 3: Chameleon. This is a maaaybe. You’re more adaptable than you think. You have time to make this decision. It’s not time to decide yet. Or if it is, you really could go either way. The person you’re thinking about isn’t ready or is concealing an aspect of themselves. The career you’re thinking about will be a good move in some ways, and a bad move in others, so let go on feeling like you’re going to make the wrong decision.

Pile 2: Card: Universe Recognize your connection to all other things.... Connect with your third eye. Meditate. You’re connected to everything in the cosmos. Have you ever tried lucid dreaming? Or any kind of spiritual practice you’ve been curious about? Give it a shot. You are wise. Your path may be in the magic arts. Symbol: EYE - This could represent the evil eye symbol, or the third eye - the space in between our eyebrows that holds our intuitive sight. Stone: Amethyst - This stone is believed to open your third eye and help you connect with your intuition. It can also reduce foreign energy in the mind - other people’s thoughts or worries about what others think about you. Ew, let that go. Story: A person driving down a winding, very steep road - like something you would find in San Fransisco but surrounded by lots of woods. This person is driving very fast and in anger, barely making turns and full of rage at the idea of something that recently happened. Suddenly, they think they see an animal dart across the road and they nearly crash. They take a moment to realize there was no animal, and that’s one of many signs for them to calm down and come to a complete stop - and slowly drive the car off road to park in the woods. Once the car is parked this person gets out and starts walking towards a pond - the chaotic thoughts of anger start up again. They sit down and take a moment to collect themselves and clear their mind. It takes a while, maybe 20 minutes, for the person to calm down and realize most of what was bothering them was just in their head. The only thing that’s going to help is slowing down. Try to see the big picture by only focusing on the small picture: You are here, present. Other people don’t have influence over you negatively if you don’t let them. Let them go. Take a nap.

Pile 1: Card: Honeymoon Enjoy the bliss of holiday time together. ... This could be for a couple, at the end of a lovely Valentine’s day week, content to continue gliding on their gondola without a care into the sunset. Perhaps this Valentine’s day wasn’t as relaxing as you’d like, it’s time to make plans to get away in the future, when you can. This card might not have to do with a couple, either. If you’re currently single, you can still treat yourself to some traveling in the future! The world doesn’t necessarily have to open up yet, treat yourself to those VR goggles you’ve been thinking of getting. Just treat yourself, period. Symbol: Temple stone. Building foundation. Now is a time when the foundation has just been built and you are ready to reap the rewards of moving freely in your new space. Either that or it is time to build a new foundation. Where is home? Not just physically but where do you feel most comfortable in the world? What roles are you playing and do you want to continue playing them? Stone: Rose Quartz: A healing stone for universal love. Sometimes this stone is used to attract a new relationship or strengthen an existing one. It works for self love too! Story: A person using a gondola (the kind in the sky - ironically) to get to the top of a mountain where there is a picnic table set and waiting for them. It’s not snowing, it’s a gorgeous hot summer day, and the gondola’s purpose was to get them to the top of the mountain where they will then descend into the forest. But for now, you’re here, at the picnic table, and your only purpose is to rest before moving again. You’ve been floating on a high for a while now. You’ve been in a liminal space, in transit. And you are about to land on something, or someone for lack of a better phrase. You are headed towards something more solid - career, partner, identity, self worth, location - for now. This next stage, despite being solid, will only be temporary. Even the best, most comforting things - like a picnic table full of food and a beautiful view - end eventually. Be present. Be loving. Enjoy this moment. See more

I was nominated to post a picture without explanation of my art, my life, studio or exhibition - as a way to promote positivity and awareness of the arts. I will post an image a day for 10 days.

Alrightyyyy - this week’s cards. With a crystal and a charm included. Pick a Card Take some to decide which pile has a message for you today.... Shifting into Mercury Retrograde’s shadow on our way out can be just as rough on our way in. The general intention for these cards is what is the lesson we can take with us after these past 3 weeks of dark, snowy, cold, dank winter. Meanings revealed tomorrow #psychic #tarot #oracle #tarotcards #pickacard #messages #clairvoyance #psychicreadings #stories #angels #message #cards #spiritual #thirdeyethoughts #presence #awareness #clues #guidance #witchy #thirdeyeawakening

Philly artist friends!!! Does anyone want (***or know someone that wants) these oil paints for free? These are the extent of my oil paints and they’ve got to go. I’ve carried these around for 6 years now. They were inherited from someone before that so they could potentially be much older. That’s okay because they last FORTY YEARS... I really need one of you to take these and give them love before I go another 38 years of staring at them regretfully. ... They are all mostly full and all usable.
