Where to find me in 2014

Happy New Year to you all and a BIG thank you for supporting me on my artistic journey this year.

'I Give You this Beauty' by Kylie Pepyat-Fowler

My apologies for not posting as often as I would have liked. I'm hoping in my efforts to become more organized this year that you will see more regular posts. If you also follow my facebook page you will have been able to keep up to date with my workings over the last 12 months.

My plan this year is to share more, not only my completed artwork but also the happenings behind the scene, both the physical happenings in the studio and the goings on in my head. What you see here on my blog is not the only type of artistic work that I do and I'm planning on adding a few more projects to my repertoire.

I also plan to share the work and offerings from other artists that inspire me. My inspiration comes from such a wide variety of places and I hope to share this in order to inspire you on your own artistic journey.

To make following me even easier for you here are a few sites where you can find me:

• Facebook Page
• Flickr
• Pinterest
• Twitter
• My Etsy Store

I'm planning to add more prints to my store this year, so if there is every an image of mine you would like as a print don't hesitate to let me know and I'll put it in my store.
I've reduced the price of quite a few of my artworks, which you can view here in the 'Monthly Specials' section of my shop.

I am truly grateful and feel very blessed to have you visit my tiny art journey space on the wide world web. I wish the coming year sees your life overflowing with love, happiness, creativity, success, peace and many memorable moments.

Hugs,

Kyles XO

Painting Up a Storm

I've been all over the place when it comes to creating lately. I've got many, many projects on the go in many different mediums, on many different substrates and in many different sizes.

'Dream Catcher' - Sold

I've consciously made the decision to let go of any expectations I or others may have and create purely from my intuition. All decisions, including decisions about topic, style, colour palette, medium, size, substrate, etc, etc are all made on the spot without too much thought. I'm creating by the seat of my pants, so to speak.

'Feather Dreadlocks'

As a result I've found that I'm creating more and feel much happier while doing it. There is a kind of 'freeing' feeling about it all. A kind of liberation.

'Mermaid Bubbles'

So I challenge you this week, this month, for the rest of this year to let go of what is slowing you down. To what is holding you back. To what or who is dulling your sparkle. Try creating for you. Do not plan. Do not predict or place expectations. Just grab your creative tools and start creating.

'The Journey Begins'

 I'd love to hear what it is that holds you back from your creative endeavors.

Big Smiles,

Kyles =D

Many thanks =D.

Mixed Media Artwork of late & a LifeBook lesson.

Hello there. Yes I know I should be posting more often. I have good intentions but things always seem to come up. The last few weeks have seen illness fill our home, including a few nights overnight stay in hospital with my youngest. I'm happy to report that everyone is now well and life is back to normal. Hallelujah!

Here a some of my completed mixed media artworks of late. You may have seen them already on facebook, as I find it much easier to post on facebook than creating a blog post, however I plan to post more regularly here. My blog also needs a serious makeover so hopefully I'll get it done over the next month or so. Fingers crossed.

'Tulip Appreciation'

'Cafe Express'

'Life is Perrrrfect'

'Sunset Gal'

'She wished she could Fly'

'Alice & Friends'

'Sail Away'

The top three are still available here. The last artwork was created in a lesson by Tamara Laporte's Lifebook 2013 Course. You can still join in here. All lessons are downloadable so you can catch up at your own convenience. I highly recommend it.
