For 2020 I’ll be introducing a new theme each month which we’ll explore on the blog. This is how it’ll work... Week 1: I’ll introduce the new theme and write a post all about it. Week 2: I’ll send out an assignment. A fun project to do that will have you exploring the month’s theme. I’ll be sharing color palettes and mood boards for inspiration. Week 3: I’ll share my own project with process videos and my own inspiration. Week 4: Will be a wrap-up of all the happenings here and in the studio. Maybe even some fun give-always. This month we’re talking about color and your emotions. Visit the blog link in bio to read all about it. #colorandemotions #monthlycreativeconversation #heidicogdillart #time4artwithheidi

We’ve had a ton of storms on the Oregon Coast lately, which means long days indoors and lots of power outages. I’m in the studio today doing 2020 planning. All my yearly goals are laid out already but now it’s time to get more detailed for the quarter and then specifics for monthly tracking. 2018-2019 kicked my butt and it’s been difficult coming out from underneath the grief that losing a child leaves you with. In many ways it’ll always be a part of me. Something like that doesn’t happen and not change the very fiber of who you are, how you move through the world, who you follow on Instagram, even the commercials you can stomach to watch...and how you see your future. My business has taken a giant shift this last year as I let go of working in the children’s illustration field. Which meant turning down opportunities and letting projects close to my heart gather dust. I tried to stay focused on my goals but they were causing more harm then good and I felt like I was all over the map. 2020 is about simplifying it all. To focus on a new path that includes a ton of art, teaching, but also writing. In simplifying I hope to find my voice again. It scares me a bit to make this shift but that’s a good thing. I hope you are staying warm wherever you are. I’m hoping the power stays on here 🌧💨🌊 #oregoncoast #oregoncoastartist #babyloss #mamagrief #artistinthestudio

The sun and fog created such a beautiful wintery scene in my backyard today. #oregoncoast

We took a break in the middle of the day to get out in the sunshine. We got to explore a different part of our beach and found lots of sea treasures to paint!! I even found green rocks! I'll share those later. #oregoncoast #oregoncoastagates #oregoncoastartist
