Good morning! I hope that you all had a restful weekend and are having a good start to the week. I have a long week ahead of me. I just started a new job and with some fun opportunities lined up, I am going to be constantly on my feet. But I am not complaining, I would have it no other way!<\/p>\n

I wanted to do my post today on another incredible artist that caught my eye on social media and has become an inspiration and teacher for me as I navigate my journey with oil painting.\u00a0Austin Howlett is a Maui raised artist now living and working in New Mexico specializing in oil painting. His work is a beautiful encapsulation of people and the environment around him. He explains that he creates paintings in order to “explore emotional vulnerability and self discovery”.<\/p>\n

What attracted me to his work is the beautifully vivid imagery that he creates with unique lighting and environment.<\/p>\n

Looking at his work, you expect it to be massive, taking up rooms and exuding a grand energy. However, they are merely the size of a hand. He recently has been working on a collection of paintings all of size 5″ by 5″. The fact that he is able to capture so much emotion and detail on such a small canvas is absolute magic.<\/p>\n

I have attached links to his website and Instagram below!<\/p>\n

I know this was a shorter post but I really enjoy doing these looks into inspiring artists. It is important to consume the works of others, learn from them, and appreciate them.\u00a0If anything that I discussed in this post stands out, or if any questions arise please feel free to comment and share your thoughts!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking forward to next Monday!<\/p>\n
