Paint My Life with Color is a themed collection of paintings that my daughter, Elya, assembled on Etsy. Elya admired the work of these artists and featured their paintings along with hers. Elya paints my life with color, and I wince every time I think about her move to Thailand in a couple of weeks.
She will be gone for a year, teaching English and traveling around Asia, again. In fact, whenever I see a young willowy woman who resembles her, my heart aches, and she hasn’t even left yet.
Even though I will miss her terribly, I know that Elya’s travels around the world infuse her paintings with color. She’s captured the beauty of cherry blossoms in Korea…
and her wandering soul in painting after painting. READ THE ENTIRE POST…

About JoDee Luna
Raised with a paintbrush, crochet needle, or sculpting dough in hand, JoDee inherited her creative mind from her Italian mother, who JoDee sees as a master of living comfortably with shifting creative rhythms.
JoDee’s own creative shifts took her to the Netherlands as an early adult, where she worked as a leader with a creative arts urban mission. Her artistic quests led and comforted her through a divorce, a long period of single parenthood, a journey back to school, and a career as a teacher and professional development trainer.
During her free time today, you will find JoDee gardening, blogging, dabbling in mixed media, crafting hand-made masks, writing, shooting photos, arranging flowers, dancing, or collaborating with her daughters on any of the above.
During the day, she throws her whole creative being into developing media-rich learning environments to spark a passion for the power of words and images in students. When she’s not creating, she is most likely sleeping...and dreaming about the next project.
Her book, Refrain from the Identical: Insight and Inspiration for Creative Eclectics, features helpful hints and inspirational reflections for artistic multi-taskers and her creativity website, http://refrainfromtheidentical.com, provides diy projects and inspirational posts.
I think it goes without saying that the paintings are fantastic. Heavenly Fire is beautiful, but the Lotus Pond just blew me away. Brilliant work.
I know. I’m amazed at the talent these artists possess.
Love the map!
I will pass on your complement to my daughter. I know she will greatly appreciate the encouragement.
