Jumping in With a Paintbrush in my Hand



I wasn't sure I wanted to blog, but when I found out my friend Carey was doing it, I saw it as a challenge. Like when we both did the 100 paintings in 100 days challenge. It's not that I'm super competetive, it's just that I gained so much more from that challenge than I expected. So I see this as another way to grow and share, going beyond limits and making new discoveries.

This blog is going to be mainly about art - my paintings, the motivation behind them, the painting process, painting materials, but who knows - I might post recipes, make simple observations on daily life, or get poetic. One thing I know - it'll never be profound. You'll have to visit my friend Carey's blog for that.

I've made a lifestyle choice to live on less, but live the life I want to live. So I keep it simple and paint because it's what I do. I write when I get the urge. I spend time with the people I love. I sit in the sun, enjoy spring flowers, look up through the patterned branches of trees. And I can't help but smile.

  1. Hi Sofie,
    I am going to "follow" your blog. I have about 6 blogs myself, LOL. Needless to say, I don't keep them up to date, but give it my best shot.

  4. I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, or if this post already exists on this blog,
    Action Fuel PRO but would you possibly consider creating a master post containing all of the online stores that you purchase your Asian products from? I am a fellow Asian (mostly Korean) skincare/makeup addict and am trying to find more reputable websites that also offer a wide range of brands to purchase from. I love your blog by the way! I've been reading it for a while now; keep up the great work! :
