Life over one hundred years ago Beautifully simple... my dream life and space simple ...All about making what you need and simply playing in the garden and home... #highfieldshistoricalvillage #toowoomba #kimmanciniart #inspiration #home #daytrip #gardenlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CFWrMcpAwV-/?igshid=1el0ku75b3lt6

Clontarf beach nice place to exercise and enjoy a coffee on the go...on my way to work. Feeling grateful that l able to work and enjoy these views, working as an artist l feel that l am blessed to be flexible and able to diversify my trade in these times. At the moment l am working on a commission, creating projects and online programs as well as working as a support worker in the disability sector. l look forward to the restrictions lifting so l can get away for a camping holiday. 😀 In the mean time l have this view ♡♡♡ #kimmanciniart #beachtime #photography #artist #brisbaneartist #commission #gratefulheart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ddt5VgatP/?igshid=ciuunoxpo7vp

A few snaps of my trip to Melbourne, @jansengraving Beautiful location in and around Clifton Springs Torquay and Angelsea .l love the changing tones in landscape and gnarly shapes of trees, how they continue to grow in these windy locations , the landscape and shapes reminded me a little of my trip to Italy. ♡ #trees #landscape #seascapes #flora #australianartist #australianlandscape #artistphotographer #kimmanciniart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdj__PHPDJv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 18 #30daychallenge -Morning stretch out walking in my neighborhood, l head down to beachfront. Found this beauty ...a home by the sea What makes a home anyway..Whether fancy,big ,small ,old ,new it doesn't matter, what matters is more about the personal touches we bring to it.. We all have different needs...at the moment through this 30day challenge I am finding out about my needs. What makes a home.. #digitalart #kimmancini #manciniartgallery #art #workshops #sandgate #grateful #journey #kimmanciniart #australianartists #brisbaneartist #interiordesign #flora #inspiration #artforsale #beauty #home #artist #photography #buildings #dreamhome https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTXS_5hgHi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vsdx0t8v3vk4

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra Happy as can be....okay so l can't remember to correct words but you get my drift. Nothing like a little brush with nature to lift the spirit especially after a busy week. Forest bathing ,l think that one can not get enough of this ritual ,a walk with mother earth ,surrounded by the sounds and smells she provides ,and it's free to everyone. #inspirationwords #Inspiration #artistphotographer #bird #kookaburra #kimmanciniart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_2P3Pv0gZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF....I am #walking in my #purpose. When l first start this journey as an #artist and art mentor my mantra was simple ... Believe in yourself ,there is nothing you can't do. The art of living ,and living with art ! 18 years on... l am still in the business of making art ,and helping others find their passion for art. The studio has not just survived but thrived # manciniartstudio Sometimes we have to remind ourselves where we started, we have to look back before we look forward . The journey or the path is a long and sometimes rocky road ,but when you look back you can see how far you have traveled . Sometimes when you look forward their maybe a pothole or a tree growing in your path or a hill you have to climb but remember to just take a breathe ,step over , walk around or charge up that hill with brushes blazing. Sometimes our obstacles are only our thoughts , sometimes they are put there to test us or perhaps others want to walk our path ,either way like most things in life there is always a way out around that obstacle . If a few weeds happen to pop up in your path then just stomp on them . At the moment there a few weeds growing around me and in my path ,but that okay because l have my STOMPING BOOTS ON...they won't be there for long... 'These boots are made walking and walking l will do , one of these days , these boots are going too ,walk right you!' BELIEVE ,AND YOU ACHIEVE!!! #lillies not just survive but thrive in murky waters. #kimmanciniart #inspirationwords #artclasses #childrenafterschoolactivities #artwork #lillies https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjIHrLBwRl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This morning l spied the elusive Superb fairy wren, they are very flighty and hard to capture on the phone but l loving watching them go about their business. I think l have some nive fodder for a new body of work ,looking forward to seeing the art develop. A willy wag tail as well playing in the grass. Can you see the dew drops on the wire ,winter is coming.... To many these grasses are weeds but to me they are beautiful. I love the way they dance in the wind ,remind me of my childhood, running through the paddocks at Ipswich #artistphotographer #fairywren #Inspiration #bushlife #nature #kimmanciniart #manciniartgallery #manciniartstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CceCZazP4qN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BEE HAPPY .... A view of nature that gives us hope...the humble bee going about it daily job. Sometimes one has just look down, a world exists that we seldom notice. Perhaps to find this calm and peace in our lives we all need to just look down or upclose at nature. #bee #flowers #artofnature #kimmanciniart #manciniartstudio #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CccWsYHvmlq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bluewaterfestival ,wow !!! a great success. Had a great time watching the children create their installations on the beach, a great result! As an artist its great to see one's plans come to life as the art facilitator #kimmancini Give them some sticks ,wool and feathers and off they go. Throughout the evening they play ,and changed the art , an evolving artwork . Well done!!!! #sandgatechamberofcommerce and all the marketeers, and volunteers. I have done the children's activities now for about 9 years and its always rewarding to work with crew. . Always good to see local support ,family and friends #kimmanciniart #fireworks #artinstallation #art #festival #manciniartstudio #manciniartgallery #beachart #artistphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/CcZknlzv7iQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
