My man got ordained as a minister in the PCA last night and it was the sweetest service ever. I’m so thankful for these people and SO PROUD of you, Hayden Dale!!! You’re the best decision I ever made. ðĨ°
This piece started as play… with layers of petals and neon gouache paint strokes… and became one of my favorites. A lot of times that’s how it goes - when I’m creating just for the sake of fun, and not the result, I tend to love the outcome.
Painting is my play - what is yours?
Abstract art: art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
* What do you like about abstract art?
* Why do you think some artists choose to create pieces in this style?

His “Light for the Lost Boy” and “Burning Edge of Dawn” albums have been water in the desert for me. Thankful to God for creators that labor for beauty and truth.

just finished up my last piece for tomorrow. 22 pieces in all. I’m a little shocked that I ended up with so many! My nerves are going wild but finally in a good way... (I think?) we are ready for you, Lexington!

Today, craft glitter became my muse.
Do I feel a little weird about adhering a MASSIVE amount of standard grade craft glitter to one of my paintings? Yes and no. And I feel like some people will not enjoy this one little bit. But I also think others will say “if that glitter excites you, you go ahead and bathe in it.” I couldn’t dig this more.
Nobody:
My Creative Flow:
“I’m out of the office on vacation and will not be responding to messages until 2020.” ð

This does not mean I’m done painting, however! I still have THREE spots for Christmas commissions. DM me if interested!
BRONZE FRAMING DREAMMMMMMS right here. Thrilled with this commission:
“Her”
30x40 acrylic and chalk on canvas

Named after the personification of wisdom in Scripture. Because the woman who commissioned me is one of the wisest I know!! Thankful for her and the opportunity to leave my mark in her home!
......aaaand here it is!! VEILED
my first show!
Mark your calendars, if that’s your kind of thing, for November 1st. Go on down to the @nolinightmarket and stop at @jgumboslex on Lime for some great food, great music by @justinbcarlson and hopefully some great inspiration. To say I can’t wait to see you there would be an understatement!

More color and texture this morning is helping my splitting headache ðĨī is anyone else having some sinus issues or is this something else? Like maybe the bebe that lives in my room but never sleeps ðĪ
These two palettes going to a their new home today!
And there are plenty more where that came from: @megnesbit.palette is where you can see available palettes!
Added some finishing touches to this little floral for a donation this weekend ð I’m starting to become a little obsessed with texture. Truly it’s the most fun thing about my paintings at the moment, IMO.
Lately I have been letting myself paint whatever I want. (Unless I’m working on commissions of course ðĨī) Decidedly not following trends. Not trying to be particularly abstract or particularly representational. Not stressing about the idiosyncrasies of my color palette as much. Just experimenting. Not absolutely torturing myself about reaching some “purest” form of authenticity and uniqueness. (Any other artists out there feel me?!) I mean truly is there ANYTHING new under the sun?!
I just want to paint because it helps me. Gives me life. It makes me more of a human. And don’t we all need a freaking break?! I mean we are ONLY HUMAN, after all. ( @jonmclaughlin ) ...and yet, profoundly so, we are human; you know, with those eternal souls... transcendence woven into the ephemeral... I mean that got real, quick.
I guess in the end, I only hope that some of that transcendence sneaks into my art. I’d consider that success.
HOLIDAY COMMISSIONS!
I knowwww... Pumpkin Spice just made its appearance and it’s still ninety degrees outside - but it’s time to start thinking about CHRISTMAS GIFTS! ð I am opening only EIGHT commission spots for the coming months (Sept. - mid Dec.) Original art makes a great gift - if I do say so myself ðĨī
If you’re interested, head to my website.
I am taking the week off of Instagram to finish some projects so you can reach me through the site or via email megnesbit.design@gmail.com
I can’t wait to create for you!
My BOLDEST commission to date. (Which is saying a lot for me... I naturally tend toward bold colors)
It makes sense that this one would be so bold because the friend who commissioned me is particularly bold - bold in hope, bold in love, bold in laughter and courage. Love you, @elsdaniels
Can’t wait to share this huge triptych with you all!
PALETTE SALE ... ROUND 2!
People got so excited last time, I decided to go again!!!
I am selling framed palette sheets from some of my original works over at @megnesbit.palette - Each is in a 12x12 white gallery frame, matted to 8x8. $30 each and $55 for 2!

I’ve been painting A LOT the last few weeks - finishing up commissions AND getting ready for my FIRST EVER SHOW. ðąððĪŠ
Mark your calendars for November 1st... more information to come!!
{gilded}
Today during a meeting with two fellow artists, I was told to stay foolish & also shown a lot of confidence in an idea I had. And that seems like a recipe for great art. I feel it in my bones.
