Life & Creativity | Art That Inspires Me - From Childhood Cartoons to Creating My Own Story

Life & Creativity | Art That Inspires Me - From Childhood Cartoons to Creating My Own Story




❤❤❤




🌍 In Today’s Real Life…

Some things stay with you forever -

πŸ‘‰ even when you don’t realise it at the time


When I was little -

My mom would place me in a cardboard box filled with pillows


Cartoons playing in the background


And something about that world:

  • colour
  • imagination
  • emotion

πŸ‘‰ stayed inside me


Even now…

πŸ‘‰ I still love cartoons


And one of those?

πŸ‘‰ SpongeBob SquarePants πŸ’›


❤❤❤


🎨 Life & Creativity | My First Acrylic Canvas

This weekend -

I did something new


πŸ‘‰ I painted my first acrylic canvas


Not store-bought

Not perfect


πŸ‘‰ homemade


I used:

  • wood for the frame
  • linen cloth
  • sealed with paint

Improvised?

πŸ‘‰ Yes


But real?

πŸ‘‰ Always


Because creativity doesn’t come from perfect tools -

πŸ‘‰ it comes from courage


❤❤❤


🌱 Life Lessons | Where My Art Began

My journey didn’t start here -


It started when I was a young mom

Before 20
With three children
Trying to survive


And art became:

πŸ‘‰ my income
πŸ‘‰ my voice
πŸ‘‰ my way forward


I painted t-shirts
Walked house to house
Children in a pram


Some people judged

Some people supported


But I kept going


πŸ‘‰ because I had to


❤❤❤


πŸ’› Life & Love | What This Painting Means

Painting SpongeBob now -

Is not just about a cartoon


πŸ‘‰ it’s about:

  • joy
  • family
  • laughter
  • healing

Because family is not always blood -

πŸ‘‰ it’s who stands with you


And the blue background in my painting?


πŸ‘‰ that’s my husband


The one who brought:

  • stability
  • support
  • and new life into mine

And today…

πŸ‘‰ I am not alone


❤❤❤
