Join me for a few cozy winter days at my farmhouse. I'll be cleaning the house, doing chicken chores, relaxing and being cozy inside by the fire, and creating in my art studio. Hope you enjoy! ~Kira 🌱 This is the ninth entry in my Artist Recovery series where I intentionally work at breaking through art blocks and fears holding me back from thriving as an Artist.

which bug is your fave? it's the walking stick for me...such a sweet little being 💚
Lov your video
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😊
Happy Birthday!! :)
haha, thank you! it was a super special birthday :D
Your birthday looked really great! Makes me want to visit B.C. It looked like a dreamy forest get away! I just love the way you see our world and pay such close attention to the details. I’m so proud of you for picked up art supplies and I can’t wait to see what you create with them. ❤❤ Thank you for sharing Kira.
B.C. was so beautiful and dreamy, it's definitely worth a visit! Thanks for watching Tracie! ❤️
Seeing the winterwonderland while it's a very rainy and clam summer here is so calming I really enjoy people showing the "not instagram worthy" life. It doesn't have to be aesthetic, it has to be authentic
Glad to hear you enjoyed watching the wintry scenery! Agreed...authenticity is so refreshing to come across these days.
You have a lovely home. A clean home is very satisfying. Wow! How were those strawberries? I’ve never seen any like that? And your rainbows! I have many in our home throughout the day too! They bring me so much JOY! You have a claw foot tub! My dream! It was fun to see a different kind of video from you. 2 of our children were in special ED and these two humans are incredible as you are too! Your perspective on life is beautiful to witness and your art and love of creatures is a gift. I hope this is the part you completely embrace! Your mantra is perfect! Keep going!
Those were winter frost pineberries, a type of hybrid strawberry. They were a little odd, but I liked them! They have a slight pineapple flavor. I love having rainbow makers in my home! They make me so happy too...my goal is to eventually have one in every single room 🤩. Aw thank you Tracie! 😭 I always enjoy reading your sweet comments. Thanks for following along ❤️
@@naturephilia always my pleasure. As a fellow creator not only do I enjoy your content, I know how helpful comments and likes can be🍓🌈
yes, they're so so helpful and very much appreciated! 😊
Uma is such a sweet heart!!!
She sure is!
I love your window view with all the green trees, rain and sometimes snow! I would love to be able to see things now, you taped these a few years ago and how has your creative space changed? (no pressure, just have a curious mind) I want to say, I'm so proud of you for sharing the morning pages authentically and how you feel as you have been working through the book. I think I have shared before that I have never made it past the first few chapters of this book and I have had it for YEARS.....procrastination:) Everything feels daunting for me and to hear you speak, it's like hearing my thoughts and I'm so much older but it also shows we are all human and age is just a number. Keep Going.
My studio has definitely changed since! I've moved furniture around and redecorated it a bunch of times. My upcoming videos will show more of it :)
@@naturephilia can’t wait to see!
Beautiful View!!
Yes! I love being surrounded by trees, it's so peaceful.
Your cat is just the sweetest for comforting you while discussing a vulnerable topic 🥺 I completely empathise with this. I'm trying to get back into painting after a long break and the smallest mistakes cause the biggest bouts of insecurity. The difference is that your art is very refined despite insecurity and mine looks like a hot mess 😂
It's like he knew I needed him there with me 😸 I make a fair amount of messy things too, I just don't always share them! As artists we tend to be our own worst enemies when it comes to judging what we create. I hope you push through those feelings and explore your painting more!
Your hair colour is so beautiful
thank you 😊
P.S. kitty cat! (Melt)
He's a total sweetheart 😸
Is this the new vlogging camera? Lighting is amazing! The quality looks really good! The jealousy chat really hit a cord with me. Also you being vulnerable. Thank you. Never easy and always appreciated. Keep going! I’m a fan and when your art soon goes live, I’m here for it.❤❤
No, this was filmed on my iPhone 12! I agree, the lighting somehow looks really good in this video. Thanks for your encouragement Tracie! It means a lot!❤️
Your iPhone 12 did an amazing job!
Diego <3
Nice to see you again. You have been missed. I notice the date of 2022, did you get those clementine skates? I love the kitty love❤
Aw thanks Tracie ☺️. I haven't gotten them yet, but I have NOT forgotten about them. I will definitely be getting them for myself. Glad you enjoyed the kitty love! He was being so affectionate during filming, I just had to include it! ❤️
This is so dreamy! I bet you wanted to move right in. I hope you have a long version of this stay. I would love to see that❤
I felt so at home there! Yes I do have some long form content of this trip that'll be in one of my future artist's way vlogs 😁
The elk teeth are so BIG! Love your studio stuff so much!!
Thanks! 😊 Right?! They're almost as big as horse teeth.
I can't wait to see the finished studio!
Looking forward to sharing it! 🌟
Beautiful artwork!
Thank you so much! 😊
Love the view out of your studio
I'm very grateful to have such a picturesque view from my creative space!
Cool chickens! 🐥🐔
Haha, glad you liked them! Def expect more chicken content in future vids cause I ❤️ my chickens!
Can you give me the title of the workbook please.
Of course! It's 'The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity' by Julia Cameron
I’m super excited I found you. I’m always looking for like minded souls with newer channels like mine. It’s a way we can lift each other up and cheer each other on! I have this book and have tried many times to complete it and have yet to read and do the book. I can get the morning pages down, I’ve gone a few artist dates but over a decade of trying to finish the book, I get distracted . Im wondering if I should give it a go again? This video is inspiring! Proud of you for speaking your truth. Your studio is beautiful.
It might be worth exploring again! I know of artists who pick up the book here and there at their leisure and don't follow it to a T. I think you can approach the course in whichever way works for you! I definitely struggled to keep up with it on a weekly basis and totally understand what you mean by getting distracted. I'm so happy to hear my video has inspired you! Thank you for being here and listening ❤️
so glad i found your channel!!!
Your studio is gorgeous. Love it, and the visit with the lady bug.
Thank you! 😊🐞
I have always enjoyed watching your video esp this one. Thanks for posting it:) I'm an artist myself. Following my heart into the world of art, I've embarked on a new chapter in a different place. I've just started a vlog that captures an artist's daily life beyond the canvas. I hope you find joy and peace viewing it! Warm regards in this cozy season and thank you for being a part of my artistic voyage <3 Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/hU_Kxg6xmhc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8TJUqIGVpgbukHb7
I love the rollerskates, they're so cute and I love the butterfly wings on them! Your studio is so organised and beautiful, I loved the tour! Also the Kiki's Delivery Service clip at the end is such a good bookend to this video. The message of that movie is basically the messaging of the book and its course. Great stuff.
The wings make me feel like a rollerskating fairy! 🧚 Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I thought so too! Including that Kiki scene just felt right.
I definitely agree with you on the distractions thing, the book seems to take quite an extreme approach to it. While I understand the idea of essentially "detoxing" from media and escapism hobbies, for me these things are also connected to my idea of what my art is. I am an analytical person and I cannot watch a piece of media without examining the artistry and craft behind it. There is definitely value in examining these things and monitoring how you spend your time, but I'm personally not a fan of the "cut this thing out entirely for a day/week/month" because there is no way to make those sorts of extreme changes without causing issues or damage. There's a reason why you're not supposed to change your diet really quickly, but gradually so your body can adapt and cope with the change. It's the same with physical exercise, you can't go from 0 to 100 in one session otherwise you physically won't be able to move the next day. Any mental or emotional exercises deserve the same consideration in my opinion. Your studio looks incredible. The amount of sanding is a lot, hopefully the rest of the process isn't as strenuous!
I agree that the author takes it to the extreme, which doesn't always work for everyone. I feel inspired from watching media, like films and tv shows. Removing these things completely from my life is almost devastating. I think it's such a beautiful thing for artists to consume other forms of art and then create something from newfound inspiration. Thank you! 😊 I can't wait until I'm finished with sanding and can move on to the fun part...painting!
Comparing self-doubt to addiction is such an interesting take, something to be aware and vigilant of as something that is a destructive indulgence. Healing is definitely not linear. I like to consider it like a bit of a mountain hike. Some parts are harder than others. Sometimes you have to take weird paths that don't seem to be moving you up at all. Sometimes you slip down. Sometimes the path goes down before it comes back up again. And it's usually easier and less dangerous if you have a good guide! I definitely need to watch Twin Peaks I genuinely don't know how I've gotten this far in life without seeing it.
Oh I love that analogy! It perfectly reflects all the ups and downs, and sidetracks that one goes through while on a healing journey. Twin Peaks is so good! It's quirky and strange in all the best ways. Highly recommend giving it a watch.
As someone who is disabled, the struggle with figuring out whether something isn't right and bad for me vs. the self-doubt and self-sabotage is very real and relatable. It can be so hard to tease those feelings apart, I think your reflections in this video were so valuable!
I definitely agree that external validation is very important and impactful. Humans are social creatures, and as much as many of us want to and can rise above criticism and cruelty that people send to us, it's important to not dismiss the impact, particularly if these people are close to us. Finding and surrounding yourself with supportive people is so important for wellbeing and creativity. I've just started watching this series and I am really enjoying your journey. I am also considering getting this book!
You are so right. Wanting to feel seen and validated is so much a part of human nature. I've always felt dismissed when people would tell me that it's something I don't need. On the contrary, relying solely on external validation as fuel for your creative drive is definitely not sustainable. I'm glad you're enjoying it! By the way, there are lots of affordable used copies of the book on eBay, that's where I got mine :)
"Learning to allow themselves to play is hard work" - I felt that in my soul. So proud of you for taking this journey. You are an incredible creative & I look forward to seeing the culmination of this series. 💕
That one hit me too. There are loads of things in the book that speak to the soul. Just things you NEED to hear as an artist. Thanks so much for following along! And for your unwavering love and support. I am so grateful to have such an amazing, lifelong best friend ❤️
