I’ve been away on family visits, and I’m deep into gardening catch-up and preparation for more family visits.
I have less time in the studio but I’m continuing my study of digital illustration. I struggle with two different things:
- I have trouble thinking of things to illustrate and,
- When I do create something, it looks stiff and self-conscious
In this little mouse painting, I used my brushes more like I would if I were creating with analog mediums like watercolour or oil paint and I think it has helped.
Are mice fond of blackberries for dessert? I have no idea, but dessert is good. Go ahead and have an extra helping of Canada Day cake!
The year is all but done, and it’s time to slow down and take a break. If you don’t celebrate a holiday in December take a break anyway. The winter is long and festivities help to chase away the grey. If you live in a hot sunshiney place, a break can be rejuvenating for you too. Thank you all, for hanging out with me this year. I’ll be back in January.
