The Painted Giraffe

Day 4 of creating daily! Today I did face painting at Trinity Alliance Church for their summer kick off barbecue following service!

🎨 Days 2 &3 👩‍🎨

My goal in creating daily is to see progress as I go! If you want to pursue art, but feel like you aren’t “good enough” to create anything worthwhile, this challenge is for you too!

I have struggled in my own art journey because of perfectionism. But perfectionism hinders growth when it causes you to procrastinate beginning. Progress isn’t always pretty!

🎨 Join me on an adventure 🤍

I am beginning to challenge myself to paint/be creative every single day to grow in my ability to paint. Excited to share this journey with you all!!

Hello everyone! I have news.

I will be leaving the United States for about 5 months on July 3rd. I will be going to the Middle East for 2 months and then to missions training in Zambia/Zanzibar for another 3 months. I won’t be back until the end of November.

With that said, I will not be booking future events for the time being because I do not have a set plan for what will happen once I get back. I am going to be a full-time missionary overseas, but I will be in the States doing financial support development after I return. I don’t know how long that process will take, so if there are events next spring you are looking for face painting for, please reach out! I may be able to assist since I’ll be back in Wisconsin by then.

In case you would like to get updates when I am overseas about missions, please message the page with your email address and I will add you to my newsletter! If you would like to financially support my upcoming training, this is the donation link: https://overlandmissions.com/donate/naomimcclenahan

Thank you all for your support over the past 8 years that The Painted Giraffe has served Wisconsin 🥰
