I'm in progress here with this one, but I've been working on this for our May furniture tutorial in the Creative Connection. Team Turquoise named it "Promise of Hope". The key tool here is the Caddie brush from Paint Pixie . All paint colors are DIY Paint.

I know true crime seems to be the most popular podcast subject but I'm too much of a scaredy cat to listen to that kind of stuff, let alone talk about it, which is why you'll only find creativity, positivity, and inspiration in each episode of Paint Talks's Podcast! We feature a new creative contributor every week to share stories of hope, determination, and art!

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

She was told her work was ugly by a customer! Has that ever happened to you?

This is from one of our #IrisJournal contributors Debi's Design Diary and she just released a new video showing us step by step how you can get this gorgeous opulent look from products she sells in her store!

But, that story?! It’s a doozy and Debi tells it all! @diypaintbydebisdesigndiary

It’s Saturday and we are outside planting flower

It’s Saturday and we are outside planting flowers but we picked up a piece of furniture this week that makes me feel I should do a similar look to “Northern Lights” on it. It’s a beautiful buffet and mirror! But, I’m having a little fear that this was a one and done kind of look. What if I try something similar and it looks nothing like this!😬😬 Has anyone ever treied to repeat their exact process on a different piece?

This was a step by step makeover I did for our Creative Connection members a few months ago and landed a spot in my top 5 favorites! All DIY Paint and Paint Pixie brushes.

'Morocco' is a statement piece, classic but modern, functional but playful, rustic but elegant.
I think sometimes, I live through the pieces I paint, imagining myself in their cities, an adventurous free spirit.
Morocco is available.

This is ‘Paradise’ ( swipe for more ) and she’s my newest hand painted DIY furniture makeover! I showed our Creative Connection step by step how to get this design. I was hoping for a watercolor look that allowed my new Bohemian Brights to really pop.

2018 Throwback "Carnival Ride Series" - They said,

2018 Throwback "Carnival Ride Series" - They said, "Don't teach" "don't share your secrets" "it will end your business", and they said many other things like this.

But Friends, look at all the fun we've had together! Remember the laughs, the oopses and the ahhhh moments? We've been through a lot together. We've made memories I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

Let's reflect today and comment about your favorite makeover! I'll start!

I painted this gorgeous piece LIVE with you over 8 different videos. I showed you step by step how to use DIY Paint to get this look and I've seen so many similar pieces since then. This brings me joy and I hope it does you, too!

Friends! This is coming up on Friday, April 29th!

EVERYONE is an artist. From our first fingerpaints

EVERYONE is an artist. From our first fingerpaints as children, we are born with the ability and desire to create but, at some point, we make a decision to STOP. Why? Because we think we aren’t good enough. Isn’t that silly? Luckily, I’ve got the remedy 😉

You’ll be kissing imposter syndrome goodbye after reading the inspiring tales, tutorials, and tips in The Turquoise Iris Journal.

It's Earth Day!
Nearly all of my artistic inspiration comes from nature; delicate flowers, strong branches, endless rolling hills. There's such an abundance of beauty to be found in the natural world around us and I am always so grateful that I get to see it and share it through my art.
Share an earth-inspired picture today, whether you've painted it or photographed it, so we can all enjoy the bounties of our wonderful earth!

Have you struggled as a creative to find your look

Have you struggled as a creative to find your look, your style, or your niche? If so, I hope to give you some encouragement with this post.

12 years ago, I wanted to make anything and everything that would sell. I veered and dipped in many styles that were popular and mainstream. I found out quickly this wasn't sustainable or fulfilling to keep me going and well, that was the goal. Keep going and growing.

My passion grew with paint layers. The more paint I added, the more I blended, and the more I distressed, the faster my little heart beat. I would get dead set on painting and any interruption sent me to frustration in 3 seconds flat! 👀 I was in my zone.

Friends, when you create what makes your heart beat faster, you create a real authentic look that is true to you. For example, my cabinet I painted here does not have any distressing but it does have layers, texture and BLUES. Let's be real, it's also pretty "busy". Well, that's my look, too. 💕 It's not sold after months, but it brings me joy and I'm excited to try a similar look that will keep me painting for years to come! xo, D

Home sweet home 🌸🌸🌸 Treat yourself today

Home sweet home 🌸🌸🌸 Treat yourself today to a little ( or a lot ) of fresh blooms! It's that time of the year where I head straight to the windows every morning to compare the "greenness" of today to yesterday! Can't you just smell these through the screen?!?

p.s. I think I need to paint this photo.

When you open yourself to receive all that life ha

When you open yourself to receive all that life has to offer you, JOY will reside in your heart. This was an exercise in "cheering for your girlfriends". Let them really hear you!! We clapped, cheered, stomped, and even spelled out their names!
Yeah, it's uncomfortable for a minute. Absolutely. I asked each one of my retreat attendees to receive, rather than deflect or resist. When you do this, it's easier to GIVE genuinely and unconditionally. Find your people.
That's when the magic happens.
