🐈‍⬛ THREE LITTLE KITTENS. Over the years, I’ve come across quite a few little cats roaming in the neighborhood! Most likely they belong to neighbours and are let out so they can wander around freely. I’ve familiarized myself with a few of them because they are so adorable! There is naughty Ginger then Bram the grey cat that belongs to the lawyer downstairs in my old apartment and a random black one occasionally spotted by the local supermarket. And I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to practice some digital painting! 🐈
💙 CELEBRATING WITH CHAGALL. Sharing a painting I made whilst following Lesson 3 Chapter 4 of Tracy Verdugo’s Story Painting Class! We made a Chagall-inspired piece with the theme “The Art of Celebration”. 🎊 Whilst adapting his style, we were to choose a happy celebratory moment in our life. I of course had a few but the most recent that comes to mind is when my boyfriend and I decided to move in together and buy our dream house last summer! 💛
🐶 DOGGY WALKING DURING CURFEW. The curfew in the Netherlands is still continuing till 3 March. But those exempt include those walking own dogs! Of course dogs need to be walked a few times a day even at odd hours so perfectly makes sense. And so Little One enjoys walking her neighbour’s doggy! Her neighbour is a health worker and when she has the evening shift, Little One is happy to help out 🐩. As she walks, she occasionally comes across Ginger the naughty neighbourhood cat lurking in the corner. How cute is that! And now a little painting about it... 🐈
💕 Following Lesson 2 of Juliette Crane's Serendipity I classes now! Just finished this morning creating my "collage paper" which I will be tearing up and using for my main painting. But it's too cute to tear up... 😞
💜 VIOLET SKY. Sharing another digital painting I did a few weeks ago whilst following Maurizio de Angelis’ on-line class on Procreate! I guess I could have used it as a Valentine’s theme but I ended up using my mixed media painting as the “masterpiece” for Valentine’s 2021 instead 💕 . Not to worry, as my boyfriend always tells me, “Everyday is Valentine’s Day for us”! Now isn’t that sweet of him... looking forward to more lessons and practicing more so I can create more kawaii! ❤️
🐇 TWO BROWN BUNNIES. So just before the snow filled the farm across our back garden, we spotted two kawaii brown bunnies meandering in the field! 💕 I thought they would be hibernating during the winter so was quite pleasantly surprised to see them appearing the other day. And then that inspired me. Let’s see what happens when you paint with India Ink for a change! 🎨
