Week 18 – My drawings are finally for sale!

Published on by viviennecocciarelliLeave a comment

One of my objectives this year was to sell my drawings online! I can confirm that this is finally happening!!

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember and a few years ago I took some “Nude” Drawing Classes. I have been fascinated by the human body and all its details and I have been painting colourful female and male bodies in my studio ever since.

Today I have a collection of paintings that have been hanging on my walls and which reproduction I decided to sell online. For a start I am selling them on http://www.Etsy.com under the shop name 52ArtProject, so if you like them do not hesitate to upvote them on the website for more visibility.

Here is my Etsy shop list (4 more drawings coming soon):

Week 0 – How I went looking for the secret of happiness

Published on by viviennecocciarelli2 Comments

During the Summer of 2016 some major events in my personal life happened: the end of a long term relationship followed by a very short term major crush. Both events left me kind of…confused. Why did a 2 year relationship end without drama & why did the very short flirt leave me devastated? Were these events related? What is wrong with me? When a relationship does not work you first question yourself – am I good enough, what could have I done differently, what if?

Week 0 – How I decided to learn something new every day

Published on by viviennecocciarelli2 Comments

When I started my new and 4th corporate job in January 2016 I quickly realized that the problem was not the companies I had been working in nor the projects I was getting into. Corporate work does not fulfill my creativity, I have been drawing and painting since I was  a kid, I spend a lot of time reading novels, learning, traveling and dancing in the sun.

Week 0 -How I started reading tons of self-improvement books!

Published on by viviennecocciarelli2 Comments

2016 was the year in which for the first time in my life I needed to make both physical and mental changes, although having a good job, good house, many close friends and a long term boyfriend, I did not feel at place and especially I was still unhappy overall. It is easy to just follow the trend and never stop and think on what you really want and need.

Week 0 – How I decided to become a nutritionist!

Published on by viviennecocciarelliLeave a comment

As wrote in my previous post, I started 2016 with the firm idea to take better care of myself. People that have known me for years remember that I could eat basically any kind of junk food without remorse or major impact on my body. But as I grew more conscious of the impact of my daily habits on my body I also knew that it was time to be more careful.

Week 0 – Keep Calm & Work Out!

Published on by viviennecocciarelli

The first change that I needed to make in January 2016 (which turned out to be the starting point of this whole challenge) was related to my laziness to any form of physical activity. See, I have always been in a good shape considering what I eat (my father is an Italian Chef and although French and Italian cuisine are overall healthy and balanced it is sometimes difficult to refuse good food say “NO” to one of the essential pleasures of life.
