Did you know that touching smooth bumps can help relax an over stimulated nervous system?

So take a deep breath and imagine running your fingertips over these smooth glossy acrylic bumps. Now exhale.

You’re welcome 🙂

I ended up putting in a few of my fish for the Studio Tour weekend. Two of them found their new homes and while I covered the Brushstrokes table (the collective table for Brushstrokes by the Bay painting group), I enjoyed talking with people about my process and hearing stories that people wanted to share. Those conversations often lead to new ideas.

There’s something beautiful about letting things flow. The best conversations do that.

If you got out to do some Studio Touring this weekend, I hope you had a lovely weekend.

The funky flounder found some fun dots. 3 layers of colourful acrylic dots on this wood fish and it’s on display this weekend during the studio tour over at St. Luke’s in the lower hall. If you see it, it’s ok to run your finger tips across the bumpy bits. That’s half the fun ❤️💙💛🩵
