Dear friend,So I gotta be super honest. This has been an insane week. And it's almost 9pm Thursday night right now as I write this (normally I have it written before 3pm). One of the things that comes with my decision to make each and every email newsletter fresh and the day before it goes out so that it's genuine and real is that sometimes I'm exhausted and I've had crazy weeks and I don't have any words left. I was going to write this whole nice email about people I think of in each month of the year and all, but I guess I'll just have to write it next week! I do have a quick update for you though, about the new Birth Month Flower Collection of paintings I've been working on. In case you missed it, this collection is all about celebrating loved ones and finding something beautiful and worth smiling over in every month of the year, even the dreary ones. I've been working on designing and painting all twelve of these watercolor paintings for a couple weeks now, and I'm so close to being done! I only have 3 left to paint! So, with that being said, I have a launch date for you! The original 9x12 watercolor paintings will launch on Monday, August 17th, BUT, for you lovely people, you will get early access on Friday August 14th!! Then, I'll launch the print version of these flowers on my Etsy store a week after (on the 21st and 24th, for newsletter subscribers and then the general public respectively). I can't wait to share more about these paintings and show you each one of them. It's really my first full size painting collection I've put together and I've absolutely loved it! Which flower is your favorite so far?? Happy Friday! ~Isabel GraceP.S. Don't forget, the Starlight Print Club is currently open for new members!

I'm an artist who creates Scripture inspired paintings to encourage people and make them smile, not to make light of the heavy parts of life but precisely because life is too dark and discouraging and I want to shine a little light to remind you of the faithfulness of the Lord and the peace He offers.
Dear friend, Happy Friday! I've been waiting for a few weeks to tell you about the things I have in this newsletter, so I am SO excited to finally show you! First off, the most exciting thing is that I have sold quite a few original paintings this month, and I'm so thankful to each of my collectors who decided to bring my art into their homes! I can't wait to see what it looks like in your spaces. "Beholding" is going to be a limited edition print soon!! Because of these originals have sold,...
Dear friend, When I was a child, I had the best teacher ever. My mother. One of the things that she did was allow us to explore in our free time some of the educational things. For example, sometimes we got to play with the blocks we used for visualizing math problems outside of school time. Sometimes we got to read an extra chapter of our historically educational chapter book that was teaching us about famous Christian heroes through the years outside of school time. And we even got to play...
Dear friend, In 2018 my whole life seemed to flip upside down. After living my whole life from 4 years old and up in Africa, our family was moving back to the USA. It seemed like a process for us to admit that's the direction the Lord was moving us. But then it finally happened. I remember a lot of it that I don't love to remember. So many good byes. So many tears. So many times I looked outside and my whole chest felt a pang of realizing I'd never see this town, this country, probably not...
