Life in lockdown is a little like how my blog has been recently, empty and slightly repetitive. I refused to start this post with ‘I’m back’ as at this rate I will have had more comebacks than a former A-list celebrity.
The fact of the matter is, I’ve been putting too much pressure on myself to produce content which in turn makes me not produce content, or even look at my blog for way too long. I also underestimated how much I could do, whilst working full time, maintaining hobbies and general living.
I thought though, now is a better time than any to give it a little go again. I am not going to put any expectations on myself and will just try to produce content which I, and hopefully you, enjoy.
Now, here is a little rundown of what I have been up to in lockdown so far:
- Fortunately, I am still working full-time, so work is keeping me busy.
- I enjoyed an ‘isolated’ week off which pre-lockdown would have included a theatre trip to ‘Pretty Woman’, but we recreated the theatre at home. It was nice to have a little time off though!
- I have been painting A LOT. Filling my house with paintings, A LOT! I exhibited, albeit virtually, in the gallery in April and was fortunate to make a few sales. I created a ‘Spring Miniatures’ collection which I absolutely loved – Psst, some are still available!
- I am also exhibiting throughout May, and painting even more! You can purchase all four of my different card designs on the gallery website here (including the ‘Snowdrops’ design featured in the cover image of this post.
- Where possible, I have been going out and about with my camera. Maybe now we can go for longer walks I may finally make it back to the beach!
- Like many, Netflix has been a source of entertainment and I have nearly binge watched the entirety of ‘New Girl’. Anyone else love that show?
I hope everyone is staying safe and well! Life in lockdown has been tough at times, but it will not be forever and it’s important to stay safe. I hope you have enjoyed this post too, hopefully see you soon!
Welcome back! The paintings look amazing!
Thank you so much, very kind of you to say.
I adore this! Your art is fantastic; I always wished I had the talent for it, which I never did 😂 you clearly have that knack – I love the colours you’ve used. Have you been selling on Etsy or anything like that?
Thank you so much! Oh you never know, I certainly needed a lot of practice! I haven’t no, I think I may need to consider it though. I sell some of my work through the gallery mentioned in the post and also through my art page on Facebook. I’m forever sharing my work on Twitter and Instagram as I can’t ever keep it secret and get a few sales that way too!
Aw that’s amazing! I hope you get more sales! They’re lovely x
So nice to see you back, Imogen! Your art is beautiful too. Hope you’re keeping well 🙂
I’m all well thank you Keeley, hope you are? Can’t wait to catch up with all your posts!
Really well thank you! Ah thank you, really excited for my new blog 🙂
I’m so glad you’re staying healthy & still get to work!!! Yay for continual inspiration & creativity with your art; sometimes other creative avenues are better than blogging, especially if you’re feeling unnecessary pressure for it. Wishing you a lovely month xx
Thank you Macey, are you well? It’s definitely helped me, there’s sooo many paintings in my house now I feel like it’s driving my parents a little insane but I can’t stop haha! Have a lovely month too! xx
I am well, thank you for asking!!
Your painting is absolutely incredible. I wish I could paint like that xx
The paintings look so lovely imogen! I’ve ordered some art supplies to give a little project a go as I think it could be a really nice activity to try 🙂
