Dealing with some overwhelm lately (even the good stuff is loud!), so I spent some time with my oil pastels. Meet "Happy Feelings."

Back with a studio update after a quiet stretch. I’m sharing my 2026 goals, the first spun cotton sculpture process video, and a resource post on home artist residencies. open.substack.com/pub/christystrickler/p/2...
Just sharing a quick WIP from my still life study series
Acrylic paint + rubbing alcohol = unexpected textures I’m really into right now.

The current state of my desk= a complete creative mess. I think I am going through a still life phase. We'll see how long that lasts. This is a current work in progress. What are you creating right now?
Sharing some of my recent sketchbook play with the #4inaRowArtChallenge. I painted a series of watercolor strawberries in my tiny sketchbook. Each painting is a tiny still life.
You can watch me paint them on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/6M9jnck0Hh4?si=XubPzZBH4t06Rtm-
