The last bit of Christmas left is the garland abov

The last bit of Christmas left is the garland above the window in our kitchen and on our fireplace mantel. I used to feel like it had to all come down quickly and all at once. I would spend an entire day taking down the tree, removing garlands, and dragging bins up and down the stairs. In recent years, I've taken a gentler approach and just removed one or two things each day, leaving up what I'm enjoying the most. I feel like it's time to take down the kitchen garland, but I think the mantel might stay decorated for just a little longer... #decorating #interiors #missmustardseed #greenandblue #antiques #cardroomgreen #january

Today on the blog, I'm sharing about my next big project(s) and how I was slowly brought into this new season. What sometimes looks like foot-dragging or lollygagging can actually be an unexplainable knowing that the timing isn't quite right. When I finally felt the urge to pull the simmering pot off the back burner and work on a manuscript and book proposal earnestly, the timing was right. A multibook deal with @harvesthousepublishers was the result. More details are in the post - https://missmustardseed.com/my-next-big-projects/ #writingabook #author #harvesthousepublishers #harvesthouse #creativework #creativeprojects #missmustardseed

Oslo and London, my latest pet commissions. I love painting neutrals and finding all of the nuances in shades of gray, but these two were a challenge! They really pushed my observation skills, but I loved painting them.

On the blog today, I’m sharing the first Four Things of the new year! What I’m reading, watching, loving, and working on. As far as the picture, the presents were opened and the tree was put away, but I’m leaving the garlands up for a little longer. Wall color is Card Room Green from @dreamywhiteslifestyle . #decorating #interiors #missmustardseed #greenandblue #antiques #january

I posted this to my Instagram Stories, but I felt it needed a permanent home on my blog and here on the grid. On the blog today, I am sharing my growth as an artist from 2018 to present. I don't like the phrase "before & after" because it conveys some kind of lacking in the before and some kind of finality to the after. I prefer to frame it as a then and now. THEN, when I had been painting with oils for almost a year and was just working on painting directly from life. (The second image.) NOW, when I have painted over 1,000 paintings, read hundreds of books, taken art classes, and filled the pages of dozens of sketchbooks. (The first image.) One isn't bad and the other good. One is early in my journey and the other is after a few more years of practice. More then and now paintings along with some encouragement about growth and practice are in the post... https://missmustardseed.com/slow-and-steady-artistic-growth/ #art #fineart #oilpainting #oilpaintersofamerica #stilllife #stilllifepainting #growth #encouragement #keepgoing #thenandnow #missmustardseed #marianparsonsfineart

On the blog today, I am sharing my top ten blog posts (based on Google Analytics) of 2024. Only three of the posts were actually written in 2024 and most of the favorites are practical posts like how to clean smelly furniture and remove wallpaper glue. A few thousand people found me because we share the same nemesis - Bishop's Weed. Other top posts were knitting vs. crochet, the paint color matching my green kitchen cabinets, making salt dough ornaments, and how I lost almost 30 lbs. You can find them all in the post - https://missmustardseed.com/top-10-posts-of-2024/ #missmustardseed #blog #blogging #favoritethings #favoriteblogposts #tutorial #topten #diy #homedecor #interiors #creativeprojects

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to focus

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to focus my attention back on healthy eating after all of the holiday meals and treats! @hungryroot is a great way to fill up on healthy foods to get back on track. #hungryrootpartner I like to load up on fresh fruits and vegetables, organic meats, and a few things to round out easy, healthy meals. Let’s unpack my latest box together and make Hungryroots’s Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowl together. Use code Marian40 to get 40% off your first Hungryroot order -
