I just painted one more memory of mom and my favorite childhood pet. Love those memories ❤️ https://t.co/NWetB8Ngao

I’ve really struggled with figure painting semester, but I’m kinda proud of this one. It’s the first one I’ve been willing to share! Yay for progress! https://t.co/7GbxbC2rxw

I’ve just been asked to change the background tree to pink apple blossoms, and to put baby breaths in her hair. Will be working on this commission... 😊 https://t.co/DOOMCPaw66

I’m tweaking this one I’m doing from a black and white photo for a sweet lady at the nursing home I volunteer at as a surprise. I think I’ll let it rest for a few days. https://t.co/Iv0tSy1Qnf
