These 10 days of my #100dayproject felt a little bit rushed for some reason. It was difficult to find time to sit down and do these paintings, so some of them feel a bit like afterthoughts. However, a couple of these are among my favorites from the entire project!
And I’ll figure out the paper color issue in due time. Hopefully.
I saw this illustration of a vintage German Easter card with the cutest sheep on it, so I wanted to recreate that for this day.
Seeing just how tiny I can paint! This is just a couple of inches in total. I was thinking about adding pen and ink to this one but I like how simple it is without.
Little new moon, little excuse to use gold gouache.
Experimenting with layering background and foreground and letting them blend into each other.
The cherry blossoms are blooming in Seattle and it’s one of my favorite signs of spring!
One fish, two fish, reddish-orange and blue fish!
I’ve been watching a lot of Home Again with the Fords and thus going down the rabbit hole of Leanne Ford interior design projects. One of them had a gorgeous fireplace that honestly looks nothing like this one but I promise that that’s where this started.
This is one of the afterthoughts. I don’t even know what inspired this!
Getting a little witchy and a little Alphonse Mucha-y.
I saw an illustration of a tiger almost exactly like this on Pinterest. Obviously I had to recreate it with my dog immediately.
