I am not sure where to start with all of the new things in the works in this little studio and in our lives! I am excited to get things going with this email campaign to keep you all up to date on everything. I plan to have some VIP goodies later on for my email buddies as well later on as I get in the swing of things.
Read MoreI took on this huge project last summer during the pandemic, I got lost in quite a few other projects and never wrote about the experience! I have to say at first I was really intimidated by the whole thing, I had never done anything on that large of a scale or on an uneven surface like the walls of this restaurant. After a lot of self doubt and layers upon layers of paint, I finished the five, six foot tall paintings. Once the project was complete I was pretty dang satisfied with what I had accomplished. There are things that I have since worked on to improve my technique, that is part of the fun of it all.
Read MoreI absolutely love design work, I always have. I don’t get a chance to test my skills all that often, but when I do I enjoy every bit of it! I was able to take the time to put so much love into this perfect little nursery for our angel. Andy enjoyed it a little bit too I think! It ended up completely different than what I originally imagined, but it is even better. I just feel good going into the room and I hope that our little girl will feel the same way one day!
Read MoreWe have been extra busy around here with both studio projects and now a growing family! We just welcomed our perfect girl, Meriwhether Lynn Buitron, came into the world May 11th at 8:04pm weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces! We are absolutely in love with her!
Read MoreI have been told by more than a few people that I am an over-thinker… I have no argument to say otherwise. I do think about things until I aggravate myself even. With that said, it is the perfect intro for this blog post!
Read MoreWhere to even start…. It has been so long since I have put anything on paper but here goes nothing! It has been quite the year. 2020 is absolutely nothing like I imagined it would be, or probably anyone thought it would be. The “Planners” of the world are struggling right now because, well, it is pretty impossible to plan much of anything at the moment. Personally, I like some structure in my life. It keeps me focused, but at the same time with this little growing business, the horses, and other big life changes, structure is out the window! I have learned that it is ok and to focus on all of the exciting things going on rather than a structured schedule.
Read MoreOk, let’s talk about this crazy cutting horse industry. It is the early mornings, the tough horses, the struggle of controlling the variables, and the over all mental game that should chase us off, but, ultimately, each challenge keeps us hooked.
Read MoreThis past month I have been thinking about experiences in life and living in the moment. We often do not take the time to enjoy all experiences or at least learn something from them. Not everything is enjoyable, but even if they aren’t what can we take away from them?
Read MoreI saw a post the other day that kind of hit me. It said “I don’t like people that need everyone to like them.” Right away I was thinking yes that is so true! We are so fixed on what people think and naturally want everyone to like us. I know personally I worry a little too much about it to the point that maybe I don’t do what is best for me soon enough. I always arrive at the point I need to go eventually, but usually I put myself through entirely too much inner turmoil before it!
Read MoreIt has been a little while since my last post due to a number of things… life gets busy and we lose track of some things just trying to maintain the things that have to be done. The story of pretty much everyone’s life that is trying to balance growing a business along with all of the things that allow you to grow a business.
Read MoreI am a little late with this post because it was a busy, but wonderful week! It was very eventful and today I am trying to catch up on everything that was set aside for the week. I am refreshed and ready to go with a few projects I thought of throughout the week, sometimes the change in scenery and the vibes off of a great trip give my creativity a new boost!
Read MoreThere are some weeks when I feel like I am absolutely chasing my tail. I think of all of the things I need to do and get overwhelmed. Let me just start with saying that I do not have kids yet so to all of you moms I commend you! I am sure I sound pretty silly compared to you superwomen!
Read MoreI wanted to talk a little bit about inspiration and how exactly my style ended up being “my style”. It is funny because I have been asked what genre it would fall under and honestly, I have no idea. It definitely did not start as any kind of style. In fact, I cannot say I was even very good at all at first, but I enjoyed painting because I was focused on one task and centered my creativity instead of thinking about twenty things at once, which is me on a day to day basis. I mentioned in my About Me section of this website that I am completely self-taught, which might sound impressive, but trust me, I have been painting for over a decade and am just now figuring out my unique way of doing things. In saying that, in the small business world today, if you want to expand and make your mark you have to evolve. That means you have to come up with new ideas and keep applying your style or talents to each work whether it be painting like me or some other venture.
Read MoreThe Story Behind the Name
My first blog post i thought needed to be the story that inspired the name of my studio. It is also a part of the about me section of this new website! It is a story that is near and dear to my heart and I go back to it from time to time to remind me of the feeling that began this journey.
