07 Apr Fish
I was going squirrelly so I painted this fish. A rock cod. Don't ask me why the bright orange background. Just felt like it. A teacher told me to do the opposite of what you would expect.Does he look a little worried?Excellent day of painting,...
27 Mar All for me?

24 Mar Blue
This was inspired by a bunch of cornflowers that my mom brought me a few years ago. They were such an intense blue it felt like my eyes were seeing them wrong. I toned them down a little bit for the painting because I think they would have looked...

18 Jan Scouty and her handler
