Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Just popped my shop onto vacation mode, as I’m not feeling motivated to put my energy into it at the moment. My now 6 month old is keeping me super busy and I’m preparing to return to my paid job in the next few months. Thanks all for your support thus far! 050
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I’ve been quiet posting on here lately plus taken a step back from creating for a few weeks. The events of the world, in particular the US, have really strained my heart. I feel the pain and hurt that so many are going through, especially my queer and disabled peers. My heart hurts for you all. 040
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Today’s painting theme was “paint with anything but a paint brush”! I used my hands, ribbons, cups, an eraser, sides of a crayon, and a dried up roll of washi tape. Here’s one of the finished paintings! #abstractpainting #art #painting 1120
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Painting in progress for my Friday night, which has evolved into a love letter to my baby girl. 1120
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 19/03/2025How I feel when guests cancel their visit to my house before I’ve started cleaning up: 110
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 15/03/2025I woke up this morning and had the urge to make something with clay! We’re out all day but tonight I’m thinking it’s play time 👩🎨👩🎨👩🎨 090
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Artists who sell their paintings on paper, can you tell me how you store your paintings? Thank you!! #art #painting #craftiverse 050
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 09/03/2025This original painting featuring native Australian flowers is now up on my Etsy shop! I’ve also added a new section in my shop for larger paintings like this one, which is A3. Link here: dawnexpressionstudio.etsy.com #artyear #artshop #supportsmallbusiness #australianartist 1211
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Feeling connected to my art today ☺️💙 #painting #drawing #mixedmedia 1130
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I just went to a doctors appointment booked for 4:45 and the doctor called me in at 4:45…. Very confused. Aren’t I supposed to wait around anxiously for an hour before you call me in? 260
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 04/03/2025My stickers have arrived! They are perfect. The whale is from SwallowWindArt and the other two are from SarahMayArts on Etsy! Love!!! 160
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Something I’m struggling with since opening my Etsy shop is creating art for myself vs creating what I “think” other people will like. It’s the main reason I hadn’t opened a shop earlier. Part of me is considering whether it’s worth the effort. Anyway, here’s a painting I’ve started for my own fun. 260
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 02/03/2025We took baby girl to her first concert today! It was a live acoustic music concert held in the hills, among the trees. We did lots of dancing and she was all smiles! 040
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Therapeutic art. I feel really anxious today. Can you tell? I did half of these marks just with my hands. The brush didn’t feel expressive enough. 1150
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Also I’m officially traumatised from my bottle of black paint. Twice now the paint has dried in the nozzle and when I’m gone to use it, it has sprayed all over me and the carpet. The second time it also sprayed all over my curtains. I need black paint for this painting. Wish me luck. 180
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Not sure what’s happening here but I’m here for it! 1150
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 28/02/2025My A3 art blocks finally arrived (after one batch that arrived damaged, second batch were out of stock and my order was cancelled). It’s been so long since I painted anything bigger than A5! 020

Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 25/02/2025“Proud” doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about these 2 pieces! I have come so far the last 7 years with my art! I never thought I’d create something this freaking awesome! #februarty #artyear #mixedmedia #abstractpainting #australianartist 2522
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 24/02/2025I’m calling these ‘Under the Sea Graffiti’ 🌊 020
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Does anyone else get an ‘under the sea’ vibe from these or is it just me? #abstractpainting #acrylicpainting 2211
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 23/02/2025These 2 intuitive abstract paintings are also up on my Etsy shop now! dawnexpressionstudio.etsy.com #abstractart #artshop #etsyshop #acrylicpainting #originalartwork #australianartist 0151

Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Also kudos to baby girl who was in bed sleeping, then proceeded to squirm and start crying the moment I put my hand in a tub of green paint to get some crusty paint out. 020
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 22/02/2025When a painting is finished it just feels ‘right’. Here’s an #abstractpainting I’ve been slowly adding to over the last few weeks. This morning after adding a few details it feels ‘right’. #artyear #bskyartshow #art #februarty #abstractart 0190
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Just added the finishing touches to some happy crab and axolotl paintings 🥰 #artyear #whimsicalart #sciart 0100
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 21/02/2025My little girl is growing way too fast. She’s almost 5 months old. She’s already trying to crawl and last night we found two teeth had come through. I am still processing the fact I have a real human child and here she is growing damn teeth!! 160
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 17/02/2025They’re… axolotls!! #fishyfeb #art #painting 2271
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I’m looking to buy some cute stickers for my water bottle! Any #smallbusiness artists have a shop I could check out? #art #supportsmallbusiness #shopart 120
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Any guesses on what these blue blobs will be? 👀☺️💙 170
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 14/02/2025What are all you lovely people planning for the weekend? I’m looking forward to seeing my grandma tomorrow, and time with my little family on Sunday. My husband works weekdays so weekends are wonderful bonding time for him and baby girl. 120
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 13/02/2025For some reason I thought baking cookies when baby went to bed was a good idea, forgetting how noisy the electric mixer is. I was determined so ended up grabbing the extension cord and mixing the ingredients in the backyard on the outdoor table 😂 080
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 12/02/2025It has been a very hot and gross 42 degree day today. Baby girl and I have been primarily: - watching ribbons attached to the front of the pedestal fan fly in the air - playing on a water mat - splashing water in the bathroom sink Bring on the cooler weather, please! 130
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I forgot to add - these are bookmarks! 💙📚 020
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Art in progress! I love when art feels right. The colours are right. The shapes are right. Everything is sitting just where it’s meant to be. This is intuitive painting to me. The final element to these paintings will be some sweet strawberries 🍓 1100
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 09/02/2025ADHD and parenting is a challenging combo sometimes. I am constantly reminding my brain that I am focusing on the baby and that I can’t act on the endless number of impulses that come up. I have such strong impulses to create that I feel like I *have* to do it *now*. 120
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 08/02/2025What a rough few days it’s been with the little one. She had her 4 month immunisations the other day and has been so unsettled. She seems better today so we might brave an outing. I think a walk might do us both some good. 240
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 08/02/2025I struggled with painting today and couldn’t find myself in my art. Reflecting on it now, I was working on themes of calm and delight and it simply doesn’t match how I feel today. 090
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Guys! Gals! Non binary pals! I sold my first painting!!!!! 3240
Julia 🌟 (she/her) @asometimesartist.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Just got a notification that it was 2 years ago that I started working on this project! If you’ve followed me for a while it’s probably clear my ADHD brain can’t stick to one hobby 😂 This was a fun restoration project where I now display all my clay creations and store my art paper and paintings. 160
