A couple of new paintings!

The first one was created using salt, which is something I love to add to paintings when the colors in my brain feel scratchy (for lack of a better way word), and I want more texture than what paint alone can provide.

"Cook n Co.", a year in watercolor for my husband. Calm, steady, joyous and secure are the words that would map most accurately to these colors.

I'm back in the northeast for a few days, and I was able to hike briefly yesterday at the bird sanctuary that my husband and I were married in, and it was lovely, cold and perfect much like our wedding day!

My painting titled: "Mother Lake", made for my mom but as my husband pointed out, looks a bit like Lake Michigan!

My newest painting,"Steadfast". I have a form of synesthesia where when I think about a person, a situation or anything with feelings and emotion, I think about it in color. I was thinking about my brother while painting this as a gift for him.

Got my art up for the first time where almost every single piece is on display. It's an adorable little wine bar with an eclectic feel

it can be overwhelming HOW beautiful existence is but dang does it feel nice to resonate in that space when youre lucky enough to catch hold of it. when you randomly touch the current behind everything. you KNOW its back there but all you get is glimpses when you notice the way light shines on water

The woods were loud and happy today. Spotted lots of bugs, bees and critters moving through, and heard a ton of birds singing. It was such a great hike!

My art was featured in an art show for the very first time ever! I used to throw away my art because I hated it so much, so this is a proud moment for me!

A watercolor painting in a black frame composed of burnt sienna with various hues of blue titled "A Brain All My Own" by Sarah Cook. A short biography card reads: "Art has been incredibly beneficial to me in my mental health journey but especially in recent years. I have a form of synesthesia where I think in colors and view my feelings in colors. For instance, when I think about my husband the color is always some hue of green with various gradients in it or when my mood is positive there is always an orange hue in my thoughts. It's always been difficult for me to express myself because of the need to translate my colors into language, but with painting it has been life changing for my mental health. I now have the ability to put what my brain is seeing or feeling on canvas and paper and let it go which is what these pieces represent. What is on the paper or canvas is truly what my brain sees when I think, or feel, Art has allowed me to grow and change into the version of myself I have always wanted to be." An abstract oil painting in a black frame. Base color of painting is an ombré of purple and pink with pink, orange, yellow clouds. Title of painting is "Healing Myself" by Sarah Cook. Picture is of both paintings side by side. On the left is the oil painting "Healing Myself" with purple, pink, yellow and orange. On the right is the watercolor painting "A Brain All My Own" with burnt sienna and blues. Artist is smiling and standing next to their paintings and wearing a blue hat with #1 Grandpa embroidered on it, a blue over-shirt, and a graphic t-shirt with different species of mushrooms. Left painting is purple, pink, orange and yellow and the right painting is burnt sienna and blues.
