It can be hard to find the words when your heart i It can be hard to find the words when your heart is feeling so much, but this..... Seeing Forest Lullaby wallpaper up on the walls of a little boys room leaves me speechless and all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I wish for you happy adventures and funny little tales with all your new animal friends.

The Dreamland Collection by Summer Gray X Iris Esther is now available at @summer_gray_amsterdam

HIBERNATION A place to hibernate… I somehow al HIBERNATION 

A place to hibernate… I somehow always seem to paint how I feel. Earthy colours, muddy tones are on my palette this month. I feel like I am in a state of hibernation, preferably somewhere down in an old oak tree….I guess this is why it’s been a bit quiet overhere. For now I really enjoy lots of hot chamomile tea, a fireplace that is burning, blankets and dreaming away in old fairytale books. 

However I am starting to feel this little twinkle inside of me. A spark of hope. A yearning for longer, lighter days and the sight of little green leaves. Knowing that there will be that one morning when you walk outside and all of a sudden you can smell it in the air: Spring is coming…..Until then I am trying to enjoy the slower pace that January is asking from me.

How are you doing? Are you getting through the first month of the year? Just to let you know, if you’d like, you can join me here in this happy little tree.

Dear ones, The time has come to put down the pain Dear ones,

The time has come to put down the paint and the pencils for a little while. 

Thank you so much for being here with me. And to those who have placed orders over the last few months, you've made dreams come true. I've seen nothing like it before, you have given a childhood dream her wings.

All new orders will be shipped after January 6th. For now, I will be in front of the fireplace, next to the Christmas tree with hot tea and a good read.

I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a blessed start of the new year.

With love Iris Esther
Dear 2022, Thank you for making this a year where Dear 2022,

Thank you for making this a year where dreams came true. 

You taught me that patience, perseverance and a willingness to learn are the only way to make real magic happen. 

The process of running my art business has been an eye opener for a new found appreciation of the small things in life. Because as it turns out, they are not so small at all. The support I was given by family, friends and neighbours has been incredible. My work was infused with their love and believe.

But most of all I am deeply grateful for the health of my family and that we can be together with the prospect of years to come, as that wasn't a sure deal at all this year…..

Dear 2023, you’ve whispered that 2023 has some amazing opportunities coming up and I can't wait to embrace them and share them here with you. Let's keep on creating from a place of love.

But first I am going to say goodbye to 2022 with some silent time, blankets and lots of hot tea while the fire is burning. I plan to wear pyama's for the next two weeks, I hope you do too!

Thank you for being here with me. Your kind words have been a true blessing. 

With love, Iris Esther 

PS: No animals were forced to be in this picture, they all fully volunteered and went back into the woods after the photoshoot.

Welcome Winter! A last minute sketch…. Oh how I Welcome Winter! A last minute sketch…. Oh how I love it when little robins gather up in the oak tree near my bedroom window. It’s such a treat to hear them share their funny stories. 

And with all the Christmas razzle-dazzle in front of us, I find it so comforting to just stop for a second and listen to them. It’s such a peaceful sound.

I hope you can hear it too…..

A LAST MINUTE GIFT Yesterday morning I was having A LAST MINUTE GIFT

Yesterday morning I was having a walk in the woods behind our home. Mother Nature was displaying such a beautiful show. The sun had painted the world with a golden glow and the land was covered with frosted sparkles. Breathtaking. (swipe to see the pictures)

It reminded me of a drawing I had started a few weeks ago. I wasn't able to finish it. I wasn’t thrilled about the colours, it just needed some more attention and love. But yesterday morning, whilst walking, inspiration came. So I finished it and here it is to be shared with you…

So, as Christmas is right around the corner, I will not have it printed for now. I am aware that packages will most likely not arrive on time, especially outside of Europe. 

So I thought, why not send it straight to your mailbox? This way you can still purchase an artwork and print it at home or at your local printshop. Et voila: A last minute A6 postcard or artwork to frame and gift. (Swipe to see how I framed it myself) 

Here's how this works. Simply follow the PRINTABLE GIFT link in bio. After checkout you can download it straight away. The link will also be send to your mailbox. 

So, for those who need a last minute gift, it will be online until Christmas evening. 

I hope you like this idea. I'm curious what you think. Please let me know in the comments below.
