I’ve always believed that color can change the way a day feels. Painting became my way of slowing down and reconnecting with the parts of life that are easy to overlook. I started Color & Soul on Pinterest to share simple ideas that help anyone enjoy the creative process, even if they’re picking up a brush for the first time.I love exploring acrylic and oil painting because each medium brings out a different mood.
