#Paintflix #ArtWillNotBeCanceled

MY FREE PAINTING CLASS on Instagram @thecristinatudor - Rainbow Heart - Quarantine Painting #Paintflix

Hi guys,

I hope my email finds you and yours well and healthy, even if stuck indoors and anxious for this rough patch to pass quickly. A lot has been put on hold in our lives at the moment.  But art will not be canceled! 🎨

As we are spending more time indoors and experiencing increased anxiety during these difficult times, I would like to bring more joy and peace into all our daily lives with my artwork. Painting is so healing and relaxing for me, and I would love to share that feeling with you, to dream up new images together, to stay positive and strong and to focus on something that makes us all feel good!

So, starting TOMORROW, March 18, 2020, I am expanding my live painting into the digital world as much as possible. I will do live painting sessions on Instagram @thecristinatudor every day during the week, which I am calling #PAINTFLIX - a hashtag I created almost 2 years ago (July 3, 2018 to be exact, ha!) when I was painting and watching Netflix ... Now it has become the one word I use to describe mixing my painting with live streaming ;)

As I wish you well, I am inviting you, your kids, your friends and loved ones to meet me on Instagram every week day at 1 PM PST starting TOMORROW so we can paint together! 👩🏻‍🎨  Watch me paint in real time to relax, or even join in on the fun and paint along if you’d like! Let’s keep joy and hope strong in our lives and make some art together! 🖌 #wereallinthistogether

xo,
Cristina

Hi guys,

The calendar for March, Daffodil Girl, is here!  My inspiration for this month’s calendar was spring daffodils, which are one of my fave flowers with their yellow star shapes and fragrant spring scent.  

Daffodils remind me of growing up in Bucharest, Romania, of early spring days when they would fight the last of winter and would burst through patches of snow.  

March 1 is a Romanian holiday called Martisor, a Valentine’s Day of sorts celebrating love.  Boys would give their crushes special, cute little charms tied with red and white silk strings with one red and one white tassel at each end, and students would give them to their favorite teachers as a sign of caring. We would pin all the charms we received on our chests on our uniforms and wear them proudly all day in school, and sometimes for an entire week or two well into March.

March 8 is also International Woman’s Day, celebrated widely throughout Europe, and I loved combining these two holidays and my memories of celebrating them in Daffodil Girl.  I hope you enjoy her and she brings warm spring sunshine your way with her yellow daffodil starbursts.

Didn’t get Daffodil Girl?  Make sure to sign up on my website cristinatudor.com and feel free to share my website with your friends and family to brighten up their day - the minute you sign up, you get the current month's calendar immediately in your inbox.

As always, make sure you tag me in your photos of the calendar on Instagram @thecristinatudor and use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar so I can find them :)  I’d love to share your pics on my IG!

If you’d like to brighten up someone’s day, please share my website cristinatudor.com with them so they can sign up for my calendar, too - the minute they sign up, they get the current month's calendar immediately in their inbox.

Happy March!
