*Tiny brushstrokes* the best part of the process I reckon, but also requiring the most concentration... with the way I work, if I make a mistake with this patterning texture I can’t really paint over it or correct it as it would spoil the whole work, so it’s focus and confidence that’s important in this step. #whichissometimesdifficult 😊 . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo

Following on from yesterday’s post, this is my other studio *aka the kitchen table* It may not be ideal but it’s not without its benefits 🌊👀 and it’s one of the easiest places to #carveouttimeforart . . . #kelsosullivan #studiolife #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernhouse #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #eames #louispoulsen #midcenturymodern
*detail* here’s a small detail from my current relief #wip really enjoying working on this one, I’m at the stage where I think ‘it’s going to turn out awesome’, probably soon to be in the ‘this isn’t working, why did I think this was a good idea’ stage... I’m learning that that’s just a part of the process and if I push through it will all work out in the end #process ✨ . . Hope you’re having a great day, it’s beautiful in my neck of the woods. Very happy to have some sunshine and blue skies. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #relief

*current studio setup* (it’s actually a corner of the family room, but hey it works!) I’m so glad to back to painting, been crazy busy with design work but now I’m carving out time for painting whenever I can, yay! And im working on a large relief which I’m pretty pumped about. . . I’m going to try to get back into sharing on Insta again, I am determined to get it back into my daily rhythm because I do miss you guys x thanks to those of you who have ‘hung around’ in my unplanned Insta-break. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #studio #studiolife #midcenturyhome #modernhome #modernart
A gift I made for my sister-in-law - she loves pink and orange so I wanted to make something special in that colour palette. #ooakjewelry . . I have 6 different designs of the pouches, 3 small and 3 large sized. They will be on my website soon ❤️ . . It may look like I haven’t been doing much because I haven’t been sharing much, but usually that means the opposite! Been so busy with great work lately and that’s when Insta tends to drop off my radar, much better to down ‘social media time’ than to down ‘family fun time’ I reckon... #lifewithkids #balance . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #geometric #geo #abstractart #letsmakepatterns #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #surfacepattern #patterndesign #printandpattern #abmpatternlove #textiledesign #patternobserver #dspatterns #earrings #jewellery #ooak
Happy Caturday from Ernest x . Just a reason to post and say ‘hi’ really. I’ve been busy with design work & commissions, things I can’t really share yet so I’ve been quiet on Insta for a bit, hope you’re all well and having a good ol’ creative time wherever you are ❤️✌🏻 I’m going to start trying to share more again now #creativepinkieswear . . . #caturdurday #catsofinstagram #cat #instacat #latergram
