    I am an artist residing in sunny, warm [humid] florida! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

    Lena, I have been painting for a little over a year now. Started with acrylics but switched over to oils soon after. Your videos were partly "responsible" for the switch. Thank you !! I also use glass out of picture frames for palettes. Because the edges can be irregular and sharp, I always line them with electrical tape.... (I also have a layer of thin styrofoam behind them, making the less fragile). No more cuts in my fingers !! Love your work !!
