A Quick Painting

The (flawed, but apparently "cool") results of a moment spent painting. // dreams-etc.com

I have a painting to share with you today! I haven’t shared any artwork since… January, back when I said I’d be sharing artwork more often. I haven’t been purposely keeping it off the blog, I just haven’t finished anything since then. Whenever I’ve had a chance to sit down with my sketchbook, it’s been for a more detailed piece. I have some that will (hopefully) be coming soon!

I was excited when I saw today’s prompt for Blogtember (which was to do something creative and share it) because it forced me to sit down with paints and just see what came out. So, here it is…

I see all the flaws in this, but my nephew looked it and said it was, “Pretty cool!” That little guy knows how to make his aunt’s day. And apparently what I thought was an unintentional abstract scene is not so abstract, as everyone who has looked at it (so far) has been able to tell what it is.

So, what do you think it is? 🙂

Summer has never been my favorite season so I inte Summer has never been my favorite season so I intentionally try to find those moments that I enjoy. Here’s one from summer 2023: sitting outside and watching this bird couple care for their babies.
It’s true. Okay, Mina. Your human needs a hug. It’s true.

Okay, Mina. Your human needs a hug. And maybe we should consider taking more flattering videos of the two of us. 😂
