Sky is the limit! ???? Today on our way to the hot desert I was thinking a lot about chasing the dreams and following your heart. From my first day in Canada I felt this freedom, this endless pool of possibilities and opportunities..and this gigantic room for art in both my heart and the world. So here I am now, determined to follow the path I chose ???? ☆☆☆ Сегодня на пути в жаркую Неваду я много думала о наших мечтах и о том, как мы умеем слушать свое внутреннее 'Я'. А оно же не обманывает никогда!!! (эт

I painted this Gavia - Loon Watercolour piece during my live paint-in session @givinggiftsca ????As it happens a lot with me and my artworks, it was suggested by one of my customers from Ontario.

And what are your favourite summer colours? °°° Как это часто случается со мной и моими животными акварелями ????????????????????????, полярная гагара была мне предложена одной из м

???????????? Repost from @rise.thrive.conquer - Have you ever searched for something only to find it fall onto your path, almost instantly? I was in search for a watercolor print to add to the home office, only to come across this perfect painting the other night at the #mamabossmingle! It was a magical evening spent with local lady-owned businesses who are creating amazing (and tasty) things all from a desire to create a DREAM business. Why am I sharing this?

#Monday vibes ???????????? Trying to be one of those people that makes others feel good about themselves.

I want to brighten up another's day as much as I can!!! I'll leave this here as an encouragement and inspiration for both myself and those who need It! ???? P.s: share your favourite quotes in comments, I will be doing one

You know how much I love creating maps..even though it takes me weeks of prepping, researching, sketching, and then finally drawing. This piece is one of my latest additions to the map collection - White Rock, and this city is another ????of Metro Vancouver.

Very soon it will be available online on my Etsy shop and at thehandpickedhomeshop in White Rock, but for now you can purchase it directly

Sometimes I wish I could be one of those creatures from my own paintings - to feel the freedom and the fresh air in my hair, run to the moon and back, chase the stars and the night sky...well, maybe in my dreams ???????? Иногда так хочется почувствовать себя на месте героев моих картин - ощутить то самое чувство свободы и ветра волосах, умчаться за звездами в ночном небе...может хотя бы во снах?! ???? #freedom #nightstallion #night #horse #horsepainting #watercolour #painting #art #artist #paint #watercolo

I can imagine love at first sight..but how can you explain this unconditional feeling to someone you've never even seen before?! Trembling and excited to meet our little boy in 2 weeks ???? #unconditionallove Я могу понять и представить "любовь с первого взгляда". Но кто-нибудь мне может объяснить это безусловное чувство к человечку, которого мы даже никогда не видели?! Ждем появления малыша через пару недель с трепетом и волнением. Чувство это могу только сравнить с ожиданием самого главного подарка свое

"Goodnight kiss" I started this painting of a Mama Bear kissing her baby when I was pregnant, and now I can totally see myself and my little boy (who is 3 weeks today) in it. That's something I wasn't able to understand or see before...and it's unbelievable how much the arrival of a baby changes your inner Bear ???? Нашему малышу сегодня уже 3 недели!!! И наконец-то у меня нашлось время закончить эту картину с мамой и малышом мишками..я начала ее писать ещё во время беременности, и вот смотрю сейчас и виж

Raising a boy I ask myself what kind of man I want him to become..kind and honest, strong and fearless, but most of all wild and free - pushing life to its limits, a bold leader, wild for his passions and free from the opinions of others. ????

J U N E // BC & WA have proclaimed this month as Orca Awareness Month, and I'm doing my tiny bit to help to Save the Orca Families from Extinction! The major factors in the decline of their populations include aquarium captures. Other factors include depleted food stocks, toxic pollution, military and other noise pollution, excessive experiments, and continued boat traffic harassment. Spread the word, sign the Lifeforce Foundation petition on change.org! I will be donating $5 from every purchase of my 'Kas

And how is your Sunday going? ☆☆☆ Интересно, что в английском слово 'reflect' одновременно означает 'отражать' и 'раздумывать'. Т.е этим процессом ты анализируешь свои поступки в прошлом..и в идеале делаешь из этого выводы. Так вот я как раз и задумалась, что наша жи
