A Chapter Closed: Thank You for Painting With Me
Last Sunday marked the end of my free Paint & Sip sessions.
What started as a simple idea became something much bigger than I expected. Showing up to my art studio every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday gave me structure, motivation, and purpose. It gave me a reason to get out of bed, to leave the house, and to create consistently.
Those days in the studio mattered to me.
Painting alongside you made me feel like I was spending time with friends—my community, my followers, people who genuinely wanted to be there. I didn’t feel lonely. I didn’t feel sad. I felt connected, supported, and grounded in my work.
Opening my studio doors and hosting free Paint & Sip sessions wasn’t just about art. It was about energy, routine, and shared space. It reminded me why I love creating and why community matters so much in the process.
I’m truly grateful to everyone who came to paint with me, who trusted my space, and who shared their time and creativity. I’m happy you came. I’m happy you experienced my studio. And I’m happy I was able to give you a meaningful and enjoyable experience.
As I move forward, regular free Paint & Sip sessions will no longer continue next year. If they return, it will be intentionally and selectively—reserved for special holidays or meaningful occasions such as February 14 or 4/20.
This chapter is officially closed, but the gratitude stays.
Thank you for being part of it.
I loved reading your Sand Oner: Inside Sand Factory Art Studio post the way you describe material, motion, and creation made me feel like I was right there in the studio, watching something ordinary transform into something expressive and alive. It made me think about my own evenings with deadlines and learning curves, and how sometimes I quietly wonder if an online course help service might give me a little space to pause, regroup, and come back with fresh focus so I can tackle the next challenge with energy and clarity. Your story was a lovely reminder that thoughtful support and creativity make even complex paths feel more navigable.
