Joshua Tree National Park Travel Art Postcard

"Desert Life" ~ The first Mini Painting in my new Travel Art Sketch Series, inspired by visiting Joshua Tree National Park. Living in a van can make it really hard to get into a routine with my art. And I know from past experience how important daily creation is to keep me inspired as an #artist. So, I'm going to start a new sketchbook series of little #travel inspired paintings to create in the mornings. These are small enough, and quick enough to just get the creative juices flowing, and still leave time to work on my larger, more detailed travel paintings. I've felt out of touch with my art, and not as motivated as I normally do, just because I get wrapped up in the travelling and exploring all the beautiful places #vanlife takes me. But, I NEED to paint, not just because it's my full time job, but because it's a part of who I am, and without it, I don't feel a whole, fulfilled person. So, whenever I have down time and I'm not visiting places to get my art inspo for, I will be focused on getting as much creative time in as I can, and forming a habit of creating art on a mostly daily basis. Sometimes travel, and hiking the #NationalParks and other landmarks doesn't leave much time, but I don't do that every day. For instance, right now I am patked up in one area for the next few weeks, and can get LOTS of painting time in! Collect all of her uniquely beautiful travel postcards, she will be adding new ones as she creates the original paintings. No one has created National Park art the way Megan has. Her designs are bold, rich and vibrant with life, just like the places she has visited. Visit Megans website www.madart-studios.com for more travel and conservation animal art.
