Ever heard of the Sinai stones?

They are stones found in a particular area in the Sinai desert which have a unique and beautiful pattern of a bush.

Even though there are two other such places in the world where you can find similar stones, the Sinai stones is unique in that however you break it, you will still find the pattern of the bush on the surface of the broken stone.

There are legends and writings and a midrash that reference this pattern to being found on the stones of Mount Sinai, and are the image of the burning bush where Gd first appeared to Moshe, and later, on the same mountain, where Gd later gave the Torah to the Jewish nation.

Whatever the case of the rocks, whether they are actually the rocks at the site of mount Sinai and the pattern is actually the pattern of the burning bush, there is a strong and holy connection between Moshe, the burning bush and Mount Sinai.

Mount Sinai was noted as not being a particularly tall or impressive mountain, the burning bush was a small and lowly plant, and Moshe Rabbeinu, the leader of the Jewish people is described in the Torah as the most humble man to ever live.

And that beautiful quality of humility, which is the highest vessel for all good and abundance, is something that I wanted to include in this painting🩵💚💙

And this painting is just getting better and better ✨✨

How do you make a Har Sinai painting truly unique, meaningful and uplifting?

Tie in all the special things you know about Har Sinai.

Now I don’t know if you’ve ever seen these Sinai stones- or heard of them- all I know is that my dad once came home from shul with one of these rocks, which had made their way from the Sinai desert to sunny London.

Someone was selling them as a way to raise money for charity. Anyway he had bought the biggest one he could because they say that the unique property of this rock is that however many pieces you break it into, and however small the pieces are, each one will still have the whole image of a bush on it..

I cannot remember if my father had a go smashing it, we probably didn’t let him because it was so beautiful to look at.

Anyway I don’t know or where it has gone, but I had great pleasure painting the intricate and stunning patterns on this painting, it is truly a wonder. What do you think? Have you heard of them or better yet do you have one? Isn’t it fascinating?

So many more delicious details and hidden ideas in this piece..

And totally the right time of year to be creating it..

Love Divine synchronicities.

Can you see what it is? More to come!

So excited to be painting like this.

I’ve been waiting for FOREVER to do this.

My biggest impetus? Moved home and feel like I’ve changed, my surroundings have changed, and of course my art is going to change too 😍

This is my (current) favorite way to paint.

(Current) in (brackets) because in a few months there will probably be the next (current) favorite way to paint ✨😂

But for now, this is what we’re playing with. Starting at the end..and ending at the beginning.

What does that mean?

Beginning a painting with no goal in mind but to paint the feeling I want to feel when I look at it at the end.

And ending the painting, with whatever this piece reminds me or hints to me of, as though I had that in mind from the beginning..

It takes courage, faith and intuition. My favorite qualities, follow along and I’ll share the magic with you✨

Ps. Don’t you love these colours? 🩵💚💙

✨Painted on parchment but printed anyway you like.✨

The words of Nishmat are not just poetic or beautiful, they are POWERFUL.

There are countless miracle stories surrounding this ancient prayer which is said on Shabbat or Festivals (and also in extreme cases of great salvation)

And when you say or read through Nishmat, you will see that the whole feeling, the whole intention, the whole meaning of this prayer has a taste of another dimension..

I haven’t included the whole prayer in this painting, far from it.

But I have tried, with the holy phrases that I picked out, and the imagery that I thought to paint, to inspire in anyone who sees this piece, the unique deep and moving power of the holy Nishmat prayer ✨

On Sunday morning this week I woke up feeling a huge lack. There was something I really wanted, and had really wanted for a long time, and didn’t yet have it.

And I really wanted it in time for Pesach. And Pesach was less than a week away. And I didn’t know where to find it, how to fund it or how to get something so expensive, that usually takes so long to find, so quick.

So I tried something new. I didn’t ask Gd to give me what I wanted. I didn’t think about how impossible it was to find what I want, in such a short space of time and get really sad about it.

Instead I tried this.

I asked Gd to give me the courage and the faith, to be as happy now, as if I had already EXACTLY what I wanted.

I didn’t give attention to the ‘reality’ that these kind of things don’t exactly drop from the sky, and the likelihood of finding exactly what I want without paying the full price is really very low.

Because I thought, if I want to feel good right now, then even if I don’t have what I want, at least I can feel like I have what I want😂.

Anyway, there’s a great ending.

By the end of the day I had what I wanted. It literally fell from the sky. Not only that I had TWO of them. And I didn’t pay a penny, nor did I have to run around looking for it.

True story, try it!

Wishing you and us all, many miracles moments this chag.✨✨

And the impossible happened ✨

I finished these two Beit Hamikdash paintings, one in July and one in August.

I painted them because

a) I got asked to all the time.

b) I thought it was impossible.

🙃Impossible because I couldn’t see it,
🙃 impossible because it’s not just a building it’s a very spiritual place and concept
And🙃 impossible because I didn’t want it to look like any other Beit Hamikdash painting there was out there..

✨And when something feels impossible, it makes it all the more fun to do it✨

So here we are eight months later and now I wonder why I bother painting anything else..🤩

So far limited edition prints of these paintings are in

✈️six countries,
🌍across three continents,
🏡been turned into a custom home blessing,
💍 decorated with chuppah glass,

📖 graced a prayer book,
🖼️made wider, smaller, longer..

And as I said there’s prints are limited edition ✨ at 100 copies we’re stopping ✨ so if you’ve been dreaming, thinking, loving the idea of having a Beit Hamikdash painting in your home, there’s is no better time to order than now ✨✨

for even one of the thousand thousand, thousands of thousands and myriad myriads of favors
that you performed for our ancestors and for us..”

I LOVE this time of year. ✨

I love the energy of renewal, of rebirth. 🌿

I love when things come together at the right time and in the right place. 🌟

I love that I started this piece in one home and finished it in another. 🏡

And I LOVE that after two months of moving craziness manifesting the most miraculous move I am painting again ✨

Only differently, more freer and more confidently than I have before🎨

And I love that you can find joy and satisfaction in the journey, on your way to your always changing and evolving destination, and feel contentment with where you are now at the same time anticipating where you want to be soon ✨

Life’s so very fascinating..

Anyway the main point - new pieces from my Spring Collection are dropping SOON!! 🥳🥳🥳 can’t wait to share ✨✨✨

Perfection ✨

They say there’s no such thing as perfect but l say there is

and I think this parchment framed in plexiglass is 👌 perfection

Custom artwork, by fave;

✨What: 18 x 12 inch parchment
✨Where: To go above a washing sink
✨Why: Bringing something special and beautiful to a basic space

The result: water/ pearls theme, decorated parchment

with the words of the blessing said when washing hands for bread,

with the holy words from Tehillim , שאו ידכם קודש וברכו את ה׳,

which in its basic translation means ‘ lift up your hands in the Sanctuary and bless Hashem’ but has many mystical meanings too. ✨

I’ve had these words on my mind the past few weeks, Adar being my mum’s a”h birthday month. And her English birthday falling out this year on Shabbat Shushan Purim

This was her passuk, her verse. The verse that starts and ends with the same letters as her name, Shoshanah, and was so her.

Which made this an extra meaningful commission✨

May it brings lots of joy and holy intention in its new home to all who use it to fulfill this beautiful Mitzvah! ✨

I just love these words.

So moving so powerful so vast so deep.

Like the sea.

I think the feeling of appreciation is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. Not because it’s a good or right way to feel,

Rather because when you stand in appreciation, in awe of every gift you’ve been given, whether it is big or small, of every single breath and so much more,

you stand in truth, in alignment with yourself and your soul and your Source, in the essence of who you really are,

I feel so privileged to have created this stunning artwork for someone who must be truly special, with their favorite holy words, can’t wait until it’s framed, and up and ready to be enjoyed✨✨#TYH

And here it is!!

Such a fun piece to create and guess what? It wasn’t even my idea.🤫😆 Thank you to the wonderful @avitalhayman for asking me if instead of adding gold leaf to Bet Hamikdash print, would I be able to add the broken glass from their chuppah?

Just the best idea.
So unique, so special, so meaningful.

My absolute favorite part of creating custom art work, besides for bringing people joy, which I love to do, is the relishing in someone else’s vision and creativity. ✨

Because you can create art work which is that much more richer and more exquisite than the ideas you come up with alone 💥❤️

May it bring so much joy and meaning into your beautiful home✨

Last creation involved pearls ⚪️ this one’s with glass 🍷 who knows, maybe the next piece will be diamonds?!💎

Following the ancient custom for the groom to smash a glass at the end of the Jewish wedding ceremony,

One of the reasons being to remember the destruction of Jerusalem and the holy temple at our most joyous times,

(as I’m writing this I’m thinking it’s best to add an explanation in case you have never been to a Jewish wedding before and this sounds totally bizarre- this just involves wrapping a small glass in cloth which is then smashed under foot by the groom)

This couple came to me with this stunning stunning idea,

To add the shards of glass that were broken under their own chuppah to a painting of the beit Hamikdash with the words of King David,

‎אם אשכחך ירושלים תשכח ימיני, if I forgot you Jerusalem, let my right hand forget it’s skill..

Such beautiful holy words and such a meaningful and inspiring concept! Don’t you love?!😍😍😍

Full reveal coming next 🤩

And that’s a wrap! Just started and finished my first parchment commission of 2025 and it’s breath taking.

The blessing of Netillat Yedayim,
said after washing hands,
before eating bread,

Decorated with pearls and gold and platinum leaf,

Embellished with the passuk from tehillim, psalms, שאו ידכם קדש וברכו את ה׳,

Pearls, because y’know, water and pearls,

Gold and silver because whoever heard of a parchment without glowing gold leaf,

Commissioned for a beautiful home in Israel.

Was such a pleasure and a joy to create.

How would you rate this beauty?

Painting perfect pearls on parchments is not the easiest feat but I think these came out pretty perfect, don’t you?😉✨

I broke all the rules with this piece. Which is really the best rule to follow. 💥

All the things I’d picked up, that I thought were really true. 🙃

Like, paint with a paintbrush, sketch with a pen. 🎨✒️

Or paint more what you see, less what you feel.👀

OR plan first, paint second🤓

Ok here’s my, sketched with a PAINTBRUSH painting of what I FELT like painting, that I started without a PLAN.

I think it went quite well, no?😍

Original SOLD thru @kingdavidgalleries @shlomokugs
limited edition prints available on my website

Follow me for more practical advice like what rules to break, (all of them) how often to break them (all the time) and when to start (now)

Disclaimer: I quite like the rules of perspective. And colour theory. And contrast, and relationship between positive and negative space…😆🤣😆🤣ok maybe don’t throw all the rules out the window, just the ones that are limiting you from trying out new and wonderful things✨✨✨✨

Fridays are usually for Shabbat prep especially because we host a LOT and this place needs to get transformed from studio and paint everywhere to living space and people everywhere 😂✨

But some weeks, when the gold leaf needs to get on those pieces, and they have been waiting for it all week, then Friday is just going to be a golden, gold leaf erev Shabbat kind of day ✨

Wishing you a beautiful and peaceful weekend✨ Shabbat Shalom Umevorach✨

This may just be the coolest Kever Rachel painting you have ever seen.

Firstly the background is not random.
Not are the crazy cool colours any randomer..

Here’s why👇

Background inspired by holy parchment, because for this ancient and holy site, the resting place of Rachel Imeinu, the mother of Jewish people, the one who’s actions merit G-d’s promise that her children will once again return to their Land, (as recorded in the book of Yirmiyahu / Jeremiah 31 :15-17 for the studious ones) a holy parchment background seems totally perfect.

And what about those crazy cool colours?

Those are the colors specifically of the jewels corresponding to Rachel two sons, Joseph and Benjamin, which were displayed in the Choshen Mishpat, (the breast-plate worn by the Cohen Gadol, the high priest) in the times of the temple, the Beit Hamikdash.

Each of the twelve tribes had a jewel which corresponds to their tribe.

The Torah names the stone of the tribe of Yosef as the Shoham -שוהם stone. Some opinions say this is an emerald, which is green, and some say this is the onyx stone which is black in colour.

And the stone associated with the tribe of Benjamin is the ישפה- Yashpe stone.

This is the Jasper stone, and is a multi colored stone, usually the colours red, green and black,

To satisfy all opinions, we have all the colors 🤩

What do you think?! How cool, vibrant and meaningful did this come out?!

Today on Rachel Imeinu ‘s yartzeit may all the tefillot of the Jewish people be answered l’tovah, and may we see the fulfillment of G-Ds promise made to the holy Rachel, speedily in our days!

Ahh this one is a special one. This summer we discovered magic hour at the beach, when instead of turning to crisp or a tomato ( we are very clearly ashkenazi) we took the kids to the beach at sunsettttt, literal magic hour.

And we kept going back for more.

So although the summer feels like a long long long time ago, and starting this painting after the summer really did happen a long long time ago.. it just got finished this week🥳🥳

So without further ado let me introduce you the my latest and greatest experiment,

It’s called painting with my eyes closed👀

ok I didn’t really paint this with my eyes closed, but I painted from a feeling, from an experience and maybe even from a meditation.

I did use the photos and videos I had taken on different sunset beach trips, as a reference, but sparingly, because I wanted to see what happens when you paint from a feeling..

What do you think? Can you feel sunset vibes? Should we try this again?

Limited edition prints for sunset lovers coming soon. This print is going to be a magical one✨

Fun thing about art, fun fact about me.

Fun thing about art: you can paint what you feel AND what you see.

So that when people see your paintings they feel something too,

And when it says, Ten measures of beauty descended to the world, Jerusalem received nine, while the rest of the world received one ( Kiddushin 49 a-b) ,

And you see a Jerusalem painting which seems nine times more beautiful than any other you’ve ever seen- you know exactly why🤩

Fun fact about me : As a kid I used to paint how I felt, which was usually either a little crazy🤪 or very serious😬 or a bit of both 🤪😬🤪😬🤪

Then I got in my head that I need to paint perfectly. Like exactly what I could see. Which felt really dry, limiting and boring🥱

And then I stopped painting completely. Not exactly the solution really..

Which brings us to now, where I like to first of all paint, had to start that one again, and it’s been easier said than done..

and bring it all together, the crazy, the serious, the joy, the inspo and also the details.. I’ll always love details..

But back to the painting, don’t you just love those bright blues? 💙💙 can’t wait to get this one on up on the Etsy shop , coming oh so soon ✨

Does your home need one of these?

Do you love holy colours and walking through Jerusalem’s ancient streets, do you love the sunlight, the arches, the windows, the hanging petals, the history, the stories, the vibrancy, the essence, the people, the soul stirrings, the knowing, that you’re home, that this is home, that you’re heart is here, and always will be?

Latest gilded and framed Jerusalem street print, on its way to a beautiful new home in the holy land. Especially loving the bright blue hues ( which took forever to work out how to get them so bright and so blue) over the parchment style background ( which took equally forever to work out how to get them just the way I imagined them) but it seems worth it to take forever over something that you want to last forever, and really Jerusalem is called the eternal city, so it really does last forever.. Who wants to see some closeups?💙 coming up next!

As usual I’m too busy talking to take any footage but here’s a few clips from last night.. and WOW. What a soul touching and inspiring evening by @shiralankinsheps and @shvillicenter

So honoured to have my artwork and writing included in your holy manuscript, a book of women’s prayers for our time of need (and SO in love with the cover design @malkaklein ✨)

So moving to experience a book launch which in itself felt like a prayer, with the music and the art, the speakers…

So incredible to hold a book with the soul outpourings and creative expressions of so many incredible women, many who I know and love.

And so fun to have had the opportunity to send my art and inspiration off to so many new homes around the Holy Land!

May the power of unity and prayer only grow and strengthen and may all our all our tefillot be answered l’tovah, for the good.

And if you haven’t already, go get yourself a copy!!!!!!

Absolutely LOVED seeing you , hearing from you, being inspired by you -and I know I’m going to miss everyone , especially as half my friends are on f/b and not IG so can’t you, but anyway 😆😍- @liba_lurie @weinsteinsorelle @sefiracreative @yaelharrisresnick @ronitfriedman_art @israelfineart @its.mushkieu @tzipora.il @brahabender @micol.designs @paintsbyael @violinlikethat @yoninamusic

My favorite kind of art.

Art that goes beyond a look,

Beyond an image,

Beyond a picture.

Art that touches,

And feels,

And expresses,

That which cannot be spoken, or heard, or said.

It’s the quiet of meditation. The wholeness of joy. The perfection of beauty.

The bridge between Heaven and Earth, between ordinary and sublime, between revealed and hidden.

Putting it into to practice by painting scenes that mean for me, stillness and reflection and revelation and unknown.

And putting it into practice by painting firstly from feeling and memory, and only then from reference and from the seen.

Starting with the sea… what do you see when you see the sea? 💙🌊😜

And we're here on Erev Tisha B'Av with another Beit Hamikdash painting. Totally unplanned, but clearly the timing is Divine.

There's something in the air. There's something different. The world this year is a completely changed place from the place it was last year.

Tisha B'Av is not just a day to remember the past, it's a day to anticipate the future.

I just read in the Book of Heritage that the reason many congregations read Eichah from a book instead of a parchment scroll is that during our history since our exile from the Land of Israel and the destruction of the second Temple, nearly two thousand years ago, there was so much anticipation for the final redemption that there weren't so many scrolls of Eichah even written.

As it says, the day of our most bitter national mourning will be turned into a day of our greatest collective joy.

May hope and faith never leave our hearts, may those who need healing, rescuing and comfort be given so many reasons to rejoice so soon, and may we merit to see the final Geula, and the rebuilding the Beit Hamikdash, with mercy, speedily in our days!

So what's the 17 th Tammuz all about? And how is it relevant to my life today?✨

Three out of the five tragedies which occurred on the 17 th of Tammuz were directly connected the Best Hamikdash.

1) During the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem the Jews were forced to stop the daily korbanot which until then brought great spiritual protection to the Jewish people

2)the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans, which led to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash three weeks later.

3)An Idol was placed in the Beit Hamikdash , either by Apostomos or King Menasseh of Judea ( it's disputed)

The challenge is, is that what the Beit Hamikdash meant to our world, and what it will mean to our existence (when it is rebuilt very soon PG!) is something that is very hard to grasp!

We're not talking about just a building, we're taking about a new reality✨

We're not talking about pillars and stone, we're taking about a tangible connection to the Divine ✨

We're not talking about fire, incense and sacrifices, we're talking about miracles, a taste of Heaven on Earth, Truth.✨

So if we realise what we've lost, and what were lacking, and that it's not just a physical building, but a guiding light of truth, of clarity, of peace in this Earthly darkness, then we know what to strive for.

To create within our own minds, and within our own hearts, a sanctuary of Divine connection, of Authenticity, of connection, of light, and of love.

And Please G-d our actions to create this space in our souls, will serve as a catalyst to create this space in our world✨❤️

שיבנה בית המקדש במהרה בימינו אמן!

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyway 😂

I think my best pieces of art have been created from the great UNKNOWN, and the only reason I didn't like to hang out in the great UNKNOWN, is because surely someone somewhere had it all worked out, which means that surely somehow someway I must work it all out too. If I want things to work out that is..

Well clearly if I had it all worked out, I wouldn't get to create such cool pieces, I wouldn't get to have my work in great galleries and I wouldn't get to do so many gorgeous and soul satisfying commissions, and I wouldn't get to have my artwork in six countries (so far, we're going for double that of course) around the world🎉

I didn't achieve any of these wonderful things by knowing what I was doing. Believe me😂😅

So let me introduce you to the next thing I'm doing, which I don't know what I'm doing🥳

I'm starting out on Etsy, you can now purchase stunning Giclee limited edition prints of my artwork, with free shipping in USA/UK and Canada and in some countries an option to purchase canvas stretched and ready to hang! 🎉

New pictures dropping each week. Check it out, 10%off on your first order, link in bio ⚡

And tell me to not give up, even though I feel like I'm jumping in 🔥every day😂

Did I tell you I'm gold leaf obsessed?🌟✨ And that I really like to paint in whatever way, shape or form, I want?🤩

Some of my favourite prints that have shipped out over the past few weeks. ✈️🌎

I used to keep gold leaf strictly to parchments. 📜And big crazy brush strokes strictly to canvas.🖼️

And then I switched it all up.🗯️ Because no one else was doing it. And I get a special kind of thrill, from doing things that no one else does..🔥

So I started painting with free crazy brush strokes on parchments. And parchment style backgrounds on canvas..

And gold leaf just started to find itself everywhere. Because who doesn't like a sparkle, a dazzle, a pop? ✨

So many gorgeously gilded prints in this reel. Are you now a sparkly gold leaf convert? Or not so much in a paintings?✨🌟✨🌟

Don't wait for inspiration. Go find it!

Inspiration abounds. Inspiration is in all the places and all the things. When I'm stuck I look for inspiration in the simplest of things.

The smell of a rose petal. A gorgeous blue sky. [Which, sidenote, is why I came to live here of course..bright blue skies in 🇬🇧 are just that much harder to see 😂] and because I live in this wonderful city, which I don't think I'll ever get over, I get to go looking for some good old (or should I say ancient) sublime and mystical Jerusalem inspiration every single day.

Whether it's the Tayelet promenade overlooking the old city and the Mount of Olives, or Jerusalem's old city streets, the Western Wall, or Yemin Moshe, I carry my inspiration with me, so I can paint it all out and bring you the best soulful transformative art I can create. ✨

Can you feel it? ✨ 🥰😍

Looking for art which is Uplifting, Jewish and just oh so Cool? 😎

Really, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Beit Hamikdash quite like it. Have you?!? ✨

And since there are so many mystical and cosmic concepts surrounding the third Beit Hamikdash, so much so that it is really quite hard to grasp, it seems wholly appropriate that this painting is equally mysterious..!

It is taught that the building of the third Beit Hamikdash signifies a time of great healing for the world, which means a deep inner healing for all of creation. It is taught that it will be a time of truth, a time of heightened awareness and consciousness, a time of inner and outer peace..

And the most important thing to know at a time when the Beit Hamikdash is not yet a physical reality, is that the verse says, 'they should make for Me a Sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them' not in it, but inside of them, which means inside of ourselves.

So clear some space in your mind (and of course on your wall ) to bring some holiness and happiness into your home and into your heart! 💖

Original is for sale!
And Prints are dropping oh so soon!

How do you like?😍

Okay, my husband's just told me he thinks not many people actually know the feeling of taking a risk that could potentially mess up hours of hard work😂- he thinks it's exclusively an artist's problem..

I'll have to think about that 🤔

Meanwhile I think that going 'too far' with this piece and adding all those splatters even when it was 'technically'' finished turned out AMAZING.

Gives it some life and joy and brings all those gorgeous colours to life.

I'll try remember that next time I'm freaking out about trying out something new. Y'never know until you try, and until you try, you'll never know.

Follow along for more life tips on how to overcome your fears of messing up paintings, or whatever else you are being too careful about not 'messing up'. Take the risk and maybe, actually probably, no definitely, something beautiful will be sure emerge🦋 ✨🥰

Confession! I did have an idea of WHAT I was going to paint, just not HOW 🤔

Part 2 of the creative process of the painting of the Beit Hamikdash ✨🎨

[Which, in case you didn't know, is the holiest place in Judaism, of which currently only the outer Western Wall remains, since it was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70CE ( and the time before that but the Babylonians 586 BCE) but we have a promise that it will be rebuilt and the Jewish people would be returned to their homeland.]

So here we are today, at a crazy time in history, when lies, hate and evil abound, but when you search with an honest and humble heart you will find love, holiness and unity too.

Which is the point of this painting. And again, expressing feelings and emotions in a painting is not something I can ever plan how to do. Though in my insecure moments I wish it was. Because then I wouldn't have to TRUST THE PROCESS 😂

Anyway, inspired as always by the Jerusalem hills, skies, and the current view of Har Habayit, where the temple once stood, twice in the past, and will B'ezrat Hashem once again stand in the future.

PG soon in our times! Last part and full reveal coming next🥳

The best kind of art is art which is enjoyable to look at.

And if the artist had serious joy creating it- you may just have serious joy purchasing it!

Welcome to my latest experiment. It's called rediscovering freedom and trust in the creative process.

Two qualities which can never truly disappear from anyone, but they can go MIA.

Sharing the behind the scenes with you, part 1. Will be back with more!

Ps what do you think about that mad colour combo, bright green and purple?! I toned down the turquoise as I went along but left the purple pop..

Story time! It''s my absolute dream and passion to create art which shouts out inspiration and beauty.

For years I tried painting on the side, here or there, in between life, and kids, and all that. You know what they say, your creativity doesn't have to be your profession it can just be your hobby? Especially if you've got young kids. I mean how can you paint with kids around?? Ummmmm. Bad bad advice. You've got to what you deeply desire to do. And take a honest inner look and see if the excuses you are using to not do the things your soul desires, are hurting you more than helping you.

And then start slowly. Doing the things that lights you up. Sharing your inspiration. Letting yourself and everyone around you benefit.

Can't wait to show this next piece. I've had so many requests for Bet Hamikdash painting and FINALLY this one is about to be released🎉 full picture coming soon.

I'm trying to remember the weirdest presents I've ever gifted when I've had no clue what to get.

🚿 I think when I was a kid I gifted shower gel to my dad on his birthday. That's pretty wierd.

I'll get back to you when I remember more. If they're not too cringe ..🤣

But I'm thrilled to share that I'm hear to end all stuckness on what to gift. Because you can now gift personalised prints.

🥳 I know. Genius. 🤯

💥This is for you if commissioning an original piece of artwork is out of your budget, but you still want to gift art.

🎨And you want it to be unique, special and personal.

Here's how it works

1️⃣Choose a favourite painting that I have here, or on my website.

2️⃣Add your favourite text.

3️⃣Include a personalised message or name.

And Voila. You'll be so happy you did it. And the person you are gifting it to will be even happier. And then you will be even happier than you originally were. And so on and so forth.

K you get it. Message me to get your next gift SORTED 😍

Ps. This one here is a personalised Eshet Chayil , gifted as an anniversary gift from a husband to wife 💕 Don't you love it?

It's my Hebrew birthday today🥳 and I'm celebrating at the holiest place on Earth✨

So appreciative for everything. When you are doing or living something you never used to be able to do or live, it's hundred times more meaningful.

Growing up in London, the idea of living and raising a family in Israel, let alone Jerusalem, was just a vague idealistic dream.

PAINTING and SELLING was so far off, it felt like fishing for fish in the Dead Sea. (In case you didn't know- there aren't any)

I painted a grand total of about three or four paintings in my twenties. I thought studying psychology, teaching English, and thinking all the time that I should really be painting, were MUCH safer (though way more depressing) options. 😬

Posting online felt suicidal. It felt like standing on stage and talking to a thousand people. Regardless of whether anyone read my posts or not LOL

Okay, I've come a long way. Got so many ambitions moving forward, some which still feel impossible, and some of which actually feel in reach, but the main thing is I feel more alive now then I ever did before. 🎉

THANK YOU to the One Above for having my back always🙏🙏

To all you lovely people, who I know on here, or those who I've yet to know, thank you for your friendship, your connection, your business, your encouraging and inspiring messages. Love you!

Blessing you all with so much joy, hope, inner peace,beauty and inspiration into your life❤️😍

Shabbat Shalom 🌸✨🌸

Most fairest of all cities, most ancient, most holy, most beautiful.

As it is written in the Talmud (Kiddushin 49b) ten measures of beauty were given to the world. Nine were taken by Jerusalem, and the other one was distributed all over the earth.

The city of Jerusalem, of Zion, the eternity capital of Israel and the Jewish nation, the city of holiness, which housed, and will house in it again, the Beit Hamikdash, the place which defied all natural laws and order, the place where spirituality and physicality were both manifest, the place about which generations of Jews have hoped, have dreamed, have prayed towards, since the time of King David, three thousand years and have not once given up hope nor faith.

I pinch myself, nearly daily, that I can call Jerusalem my home. I feel like I'm riding a giant wave. A wave built by all those who came before me, who for generations have carried the whisper, 'next year in Jerusalem' only in their hearts and on their lips, in their dreams and fervent prayers.

May we merit to see many more miracles in our times ✨

There's is so much good for us to do here and sometimes it seems like things are stacked against us. If I had more time, more money, if I thought less and did more or did more and thought less, if I was more confident, more courageous, if I didn't doubt my ideas and I believed in myself more.

But what if every single thing, and every single experience, and every single challenge is making you, you? And what if it is all compounding, and it is all leading you to just the place where your soul has always wanted to be?

And what if everything is working out for you and the only person who hasn't caught on yet, is you?

After 120 years in the next world I don't believe a single one of us is going to look back on our lives and have any claims and questions. It will all be so clear. I like to choose, as often as I am able to, to enjoy feeling that clarity and appreciation now, to believe and trust that every single thing has me headed in the right direction, even if I can't explain to you why or how. And in that feeling so much healing can happen. Try it and see.

Much love❤️Avigail

And it's here! Vehi Sheamda. In appreciation of the astounding miracles we have seen here in Israel. Just in time for Pesach. Just in time for Nissan, the month of our redemption.

Soul, music and art. The best combination. I'm the artist, my husband's the singer and my son is the cute little kid who wanted to part of this.

And G-d, Jerusalem and the Western Wall are center stage.

Thank You Hashem for the miracles, please G-d this month we should see a true redemption of our people, a safe return of all those still in dire straits and Divine protection for our soldiers and the land of Israel.

Will upload the full video to my you tube channel soon

Okay, that's actually not totally true.

I'm sure many people did tell me to paint, but I've never been one to listen to people telling me what to do.. So even if you did tell me years ago that I really should be painting, because I really do love it, I probably would never have even listened..

Some things you just have to figure out yourself.

Anyway listen up. Rare opportunity here for those of you in the New York area. This original painting is FOR SALE. And it's at half the price it usually would go for. And it's currently in NY. But it won't be there much longer unless you grab it.

So,

if you LOVE the feeling of unlimited possibilities,

if you want to invite more MIRACLES into your life,

if you want your space to feel INSPIRED and UPLIFTED

This piece of for you. Send me a DM and tell you the price.

And if you want to read about the MAGIC meaning in this painting just go back and read the last few posts.

And tag anyone you think would love this too.

Love sharing art and beauty with you!!

COLOURS!! Who knew they could mean so much!

When I was nearly finished my splitting of the sea painting it just needed a little extra pop so I researched the meaning of colours and found out something fascinating!

Of course I added it to this amazing splitting of the sea piece.

💙 is for Awe
❤️is for passion
💜 Is for humility
And I can't find a white heart emoji but white is for LOVING KINDNESS

And by the way all these clips are from my camera roll from the last few months (besides the Jerusalem snow which is from 2022). I love love looking at beautiful things. And I love painting inspiring things too!

What's your favourite colour? Drop an emoji below! Mine is ❤️ my husband's is 💙 one of my kids is ⚪(where's my white heart emoji when I need it?!?!🤣

I was laughing away at this one when I watched the playback. Clearly didn't expect it to be so hard to turn a canvas around..

My newest and bestest (for the moment) painting.

Splitting of the sea.

Breaking through limitations.

Miracles over nature.

Revelation of the Divine.

Anything is possible.

Everything is possible.

I started this painting as an inspiration for myself, but as soon as I took out the canvas it became an inspiration to share with others.

I incorporated the deep mystical teachings of the Lubuvitcher Rebbe, his teaching on the the splitting of the sea, his wisdom of the colours of the tapestries inside the Mishkan.

Can't wait to share it all.

We're one day away from the start of the Hebrew month of Nissan. The month of redemption, the month of Pesach, the month of freedom.

Please G-d we should see a month of Divine intervention and of miraculous physical, spiritual and emotional freedom. Very very soon.

Don't you think music and art are just the best combination ever?🎶🎨✨

The most magical part of stepping into the energy of your dreams and desires, is when you help someone else's dream come true too! Wohooo🤩

And when that someone else is your husband even better😍

Here we are wed night, taking another step towards an idea I've had percolating in mind for years. ⚡

Absolutely loving all the pieces coming together. Taking one fun step at a time, and feeling blissfully unattached to the outcome (for a change😆)

Meanwhile this man should have been in a recording studio years ago. Actually he should be on stage. He has a voice of gold and a heart to match. Inspiring, uplifting, soulful and stirring.

Let's see where we go🎶🎶🎨🎨🎨 Whatever we do I'm taking you all along for ride too!

Intro time! Y'know there's a million different ways I could introduce myself, and it really depends on who I'm talking to, but since I don't know who I'm talking to here's version #1.

I love people as much as I love to paint. 🎨

Which is a problem when people are around and I'm trying to paint or when paint is around and I'm trying to talk...

I also go a little crazy if I spend too much time alone painting.. and I go equally crazy if I spend too much time with people talking.😆🤷 I try and balance these two loves of mine all. the. time.

Meditation, a lot of it, is what keeps me grounded. And personal prayer. And spending as much time as possible in nature.🌸🌷

I love painting big and bold, and I love painting delicious tiny details too. My goal with a painting is always to wow. It's taken me a lot of courage to paint the way I do now. That story will have to be for intro version #2😆

I also love posting online but I overthink it a lot so I end up not sharing half of the ideas I have to post. Which is a big uptick from sharing nothing at all. 🤳⚡

I get my inspiration from everywhere really. I live in the beautiful city of Jerusalem, in the Holy Land of Israel, what's there not to be inspired about?✨

What about you? Do you get energised by
People 👱‍♀️
Paint🎨
Or
Pasta 🍝?

Just kidding about the pasta.

Should I write version #2 now?
I think I'll have to recover from sharing this first🤣.

Ps. New painting coming up!!🤩 don't you LOVE?!

Finally! A start to finish reel of this magnificent piece.

There's so much meaning hidden in here, it was such a joy to create.

Living with the truth, that everything comes from Above, invites so much good and abundance into our lives.

Sometimes it is hidden from plain view, like the stars on a dark and cloudy night, and sometimes it is easy and clear to see, shining brightly in the sky. 🌟

The gold and silver stars in this piece represent the two overarching attributes which G-d uses to govern our world. Chesed, kindness and Gevurah, judgement.

In Kabbalsitic teachings the attribute of 'Chesed’- Kindness is represented with silver, and ‘Gevurah’ - Justice is represented with gold.

Both attributes emanate from G-d's loving kindness.

The thirteen large silver stars signify the thirteen attributes of Mercy which originate from the highest source of 'Chesed'- Kindness.

The idea that all the loving kindness that we project to the world sweetens any judgements is reflected in the two stars which are half gold and half silver.

May this piece bring much faith, courage and beauty to your heart and home.

Much love, Avigail ,🌟⭐✨

It is written in the Talmud that ten measures of beauty descended to the world; Jerusalem received nine, while the rest of the world received one. (Kiddushin 49a-b). This is my inspiration for painting. That you can bring into your home the beauty, the holiness and the connection that reflects what the love of Israel and Jerusalem that you hold in your heart.
