New Birth Month Flower Collection: UPDATE
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!

Dear friend, There's something so freeing about painting and drawing for no reason other than to create. So often, when I get out my paints and sit down to create something, I wonder (and worry) if it will sell, how much people will like it, how amazing I can make it... and the magic of creating dulls a little bit. And I just got a chance to paint without any pressure of selling whatsoever. No pressure of recording it for social media, no pressure of making it within a timeline, no pressure...
Dear friend, When I was learning to drive, I was really frustrated with my Dad. He just made driving look so easy! He seems to be able to drive in reverse like Tow Mater, is somehow calm and has quick reflexes even amid crazy big city traffic, and even driving in different countries on other sides of the road doesn’t phase him. And yet if I said something about it he’d tell me “Well I’ve been driving for a few years.” Now I realize what he was saying was that I didn’t see him when he was...
Dear friend, What's something you saw outside as a kid that you thought was just so cool?? I loved exploring outside as a kid. I'd lay in the grass and watch the little ants working together. I'd look for the little beetles and bugs, and get excited with each butterfly that I saw fly past me. I've been thinking about inspiration lately, and the things that inspire me. And I've realized that most of the time, the things that inspire me again and again are things that inspired me as a child....
