Watercolor muses

Muses are flying around my studio lately

 and I feel so honored with their presence and inspiration they bring to me.

These muses are connected with nature, flora and fauna, so they inspire the natural beauty and colorful shades of paint.

I always use my intuitive skills to paint. 

I like to feel the inspiration come to me first and then follow that instinct to start to create.

Feeling the flow of inspiration is the best thing ever, so much fun, so much focus. 

Start with one color and then the other, seeing the watercolor moving and turning into shape and new colors burning from the process. Ohhh my the best thing ever!

My idea with this new muses is to make an exhibition let's see what happens.

Please let me know what you think about them.

My new mini class Heart whispers is up, check the info here

Whisking you a great weekend 

Much love

Susana

On my studio table

A new journey started for our family, we are going to move to Brussels in Belgium, since my husband is already working there. We will join him in the summer, when kids finish the school. Please send us your good thoughts so this new adventure be great for our family :) thank you!

My painting table is the place to be right now,  where I can put into paper my emotions, thoughts and expectations. Just grabbing a paintbrush and a beautiful color is a way to feel really good.

 This beautiful lady was my latest creation, this closer photo is for you to see her eyes, textures, hidden colors and details.

Since this my first blog post this year I want to wish you a wonderful, amazing 2016 full of love, joy, happiness, fun, abundance, creativity, play and painting ;)

Spreading uplifting words

My uplifting words and art project have unfold into a beautiful ritual, a morning ritual where I start to connect with my spirit and search in my heart what I need to share with you. 

Thrue colors, shapes and a few words a piece is created, expecting to touch some hearts, uplift some moods and bring beautiful smiles to people's faces. 

Such a blessing to free the spirit to inspire :)

thank you!

Collage and paint my favorite!

Hi beautiful people, how are you? I hope you are great :)

Here in my studio I am working on new mini Frida paintings, with lot´s of collage and sweetness.

When I think what I really, really love to do, is this- grab some papers, fabrics, ribons and start matching them in a canvas and then paint and details, this really makes me happy.

Leaving you with a sweet pic of my daughter and Lua (moon) my cat. 

She is really a different cat, she never goes to our lap, even when she wants petting, she goes behind our heads and rubs in our hair, she always have to do the things her way.

But she adorable anyway.

Do you have a crazy cat ? please let me know

Have a wonderful day,

It's my space and is sacred to me, I share it with you so that you may know me better :)

Welcome to my home!

I live in Lisbon / Portugal in the middle of the city, with my husband my 3 children, Mr. Dog and Ms. Cat.

Since last year when I  moved to this new house I started working in home, something that I have never done before, but this house is big , so I have space for everything. To live , to work and even hide ;)

The living room

The hall

The younger kids room

Lá em casa estamos numa onda de mudança, nas ultimas semanas o bricolage instalou-se lá em casa, numa mudança total no quarto das crianças, ( eu prometo tirar fotografias mais tarde) e quem sabe a sala também vai levar um refresh.

Na realidade também tenho vontade de mudar o meu atelier para um espaço maior, quero começar, a pintar mais, telas grandes e para isso tenho de ter espaço para me exprimir certo...quem sabe se aparece por aí uma oprotunidade :)
