Hello friends, I'm not doing #inktober this year, but here's a tiny watercolor painting of black roses. I visited a rose garden earlier this week and was amazed that there are still flowers blooming there! Somehow I was not expecting them to go so late into the season. Currently, I have three new paintings in progress for my Obscure Powers series. The next one I'm planning to show is Solitude; can you guess what the other two are? Perhaps you will even give me ideas beyond the ones I have planned! I find I am very happy with multiple pieces to work on at once. I can switch between them whenever I feel inspired! My body may be tired, but my mind is invigorated by my work. It really makes a difference when you believe in the work you are doing. Thank you for being so encouraging and wonderful. I hope you have a restful Sunday evening. 🌙 #tinywatercolors #cotmanwatercolors #winsorandnewton #winsornewton #notinktober #relaxart #starwonderart #abbischellhaseart #abbischellhase #rosesnoires #floralpaintings #blackrosetattoo #blackflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Seb05jZJv/?igshid=1lo197eg6gayk

//repost to clean up image quality//🌿🌱🌿 Solitude is the thing the lonely children know, at first as an unwelcome companion, but later as a benevolent strength. Solitude takes us by the hand, shows us secret places, brings us to a broad space wherein we can breathe and create. New worlds form as we begin to better understand our own by being at last truly part of it. From long hours resting in the arms of nature, owing nothing to anyone, and being given endless inspiration and joy with nothing asked in return besides our enjoyment: we begin to understand the essence of true, unconditional love. 🌱 Through solitude we discover that we are never truly alone, if we are looking closely! 🌿 Today is international #selfportraitday ! I don’t have any actual self portrait to post, but today’s painting is loosely based on me. We’re our own cheapest and best models!

Dear friends, Prepare for a wall of text! 🙃 For the past several months, I've been creating a new art series: a visual tribute to obscure powers often overlooked by a culture that rewards the loud and the ruthless. Among these obscure powers are Solitude, Nurture, Mourning, Observation, and Harmony. Initially, I didn't plan to finish Mourning first, but I think its release is timely. There are difficult things happening in the lives of virtually everyone I know. I am often weighed down by the sadness of the world, of death, of corruption. Yet I am slowly learning that the only way forward is through. I must mourn; I must give space and honor to mourning, and not push it aside. Mourning has the power to cleanse and bring transformation. In this illustration, Mara mourns alone; her solitude is part of her grief. But not too far behind her, a mourning dove is there with a call that gives her a bit of hope. The mourning dove was common where I grew up in the Midwest, and has remained one of my favorite birds. This seemed an appropriate place to include one. ✨ Thank you for reading this far! It makes me glad to know that the work I'm creating means something to others. I know it won't be for everyone, and that's all right. I'm deciding to focus my energy on what matters most to me. <3 Abbi . . . #starwonderart #abbischellhase #obscurepowers #fantasyillustration #pastelgothart #artnouveaulovers #artnouveaudesign #artnouveaustyle #publishersbinding #publishersbindings #artdecoratif #emotive_arts #fairytaleart #ethereal_moods #ethereal #femaleillustrators #romanticart #decorativeart #vintagebookcover #inspirationalart #illustratorsofig #beautifulbizarre #artofsofa #gentlenessisstrength #procreatedrawing #procreateartist #ipadprocreate #smallbusinesslove https://www.instagram.com/p/B1l6IzGDRTM/?igshid=53yi98gc2kw8

"What's not in the world that should be in the world? What's the thing that only I can contribute? If I can't get this idea out of my head and onto paper, it dies with me" - things I heard Lin-Manuel Miranda say. . You have meaningful things to contribute. Unique experiences and perspectives and gifts that others will wrap around themselves like a warm blanket on a snowy day. ❄️ Don't let negative self talk hold you back. . This is a little 2" sketch I did on the cardboard from a cereal box! It turned out so well; I love it and I want that cape! ✍️🕊️ . . . #starwonderart #abbischellhase #linmanuelmiranda #birdcape #birdfriends #birddrawing #whitecharcoaltonedpaper #generalswhitecharcoal #whitecharcoal #monochromeart #wipdrawing #birdsketch #songbirds #artistinspiration #recycledmaterialsart #tonedpaper #posterart #pencildrawings #idrawpeople #idrawbirds #risingofthelark #birddesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B45FafDjwO1/?igshid=7974z1s55aiz

🌱 I’ve never liked “sneak peek” as a phrase, so what should I call this? It’s like a little piece of my soul. 🌿 I’m completely nervous and yet completely confident to show you what I’ve been dreaming up. 🌙☁️💫 This painting is Part One of a series for the gentle. I mean it as a balm for those who feel too soft, who wonder sometimes if there is anything good for them in this world. To the meek, the wounded, the persevering, the compassionate: You are needed, and you contribute so much more than you know. Your powers are obscure, subversive, and real. 🍀🦌 . Thank you for reading this far. If you’d like to make sure you never miss an update on this series, follow the hashtag #abbischellhase .This will help me beat the algorithms, so thank you! 💙✨ . #abbischellhaseart #starwonderart #romantic_noir #pastelgothic #highlysensitiveperson #pastelgothart #delicatedetails #peacefulartwork #artdecoart #vintagebookcover #artnouveaudesign #gothicartist #romanticgoth #gentlenessispowerful #fantasyartist #gothicbeauty #infjartist #romanticgoth #fantasyillustration #symbolicart #romantic_darkness #etheral_moods #ethereal_moods https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RmEF2jBP8/?igshid=ty5f8xspobkc

Oddly, although color is THE first thing I notice in a piece of art, it's surprisingly difficult to harness what I feel about color and put it into my own paintings. What is your opinion of this color palette? 🎨✨ Keep a look out for my newest piece this weekend! 🍯💛 . . . #wip #workinprogress #abbischellhase #abbischellhaseart #starwonderart #honeyart #savethebees🐝 #harvestgold #shinyart #artdecoratif #woodcut #artnouveauillustration #natureartists #liquidgold https://www.instagram.com/p/B2m4zE-DKOc/?igshid=19j3f45w1xwll

Subconscious: Those ideas that come to you late at night, when you're trying to fall asleep, knowing sleep is so important, but part of this idea could be a solution to a problem you've been wrestling with for a long time... what do you do then? In my case, it wasn't something that could be jotted down with a few quick words; it was too conceptual, ambient, atmospheric. Fortunately, it made such a strong impression that I woke still thinking about it. Our brains do so much important work in the subconscious, bringing light to things we've been wrestling in the dark. Rest and quiet are an essential part of creation! What are your favorite ways to make space for your subconscious? #deepwork #feedyoursubconscious #artfromdreams #dreamart #pencilsketchings #medievaldress #medievaldresses #medievalfashion #anachronistic #illustrationdesigner #womenofillustration #artplanning #abbischellhase #starwonderart #obscurepowers #giftsofthegentle #rennart #renaissanceart #renaissancedress https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Y3uspgZqa/?igshid=t18a6jlhooj

Dear friends, As some of you know, I had my first group art show last week! I was honored that my piece "The Gardener" sold at the show (to one of the judges, who liked that my lady "was not petite"). 😊🐰 Now I have just one piece from the show left to go home with someone. This is "Flowered;" she is framed and ready to display. All archival printing & mounting means that this piece should last a long long time. The first person to message me gets it! $40 with free continental US shipping. Thank you for every like and encouraging word. It helps me reach more people who want to own my art, and that makes me so happy. . So grateful for your kind presence, my friends. . . . #sweetillustration #vintageroses #rosetattoos #vintagefashionillustration #abbischellhaseart #starwonderart #softaesthetics #pastelillustration #sketchdigital #romanticillustration #vintagestylehome #littlepinkdress #wallflowers #growingupshy #artforhomes #introvertart #cuteartstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVSt9UAx5w/?igshid=rxtwbrdz57e
