So.... I was watching The Borgias on Netflix. And Caterina Sforza was a striking character, and somehow I ended up doing a tiny sketch of her.

Those of you who encouraged me to keep going with the blog.... thank you so much. I love you. Especially because this is the sort of thing that works for a daily painting. They're vertebra... I think from a pig. I've had them for the longest time and wanted to paint them, they just seemed so abstract that I didn't know if it would be able to work. I think it did!

Because you can never have too much garlic. I'm starting to feel a little better, but immune boosters are definitely a good idea at the moment! Also- yummy thick paint.

WIP

More circular canvas exploration! With the amazing roses that are currently blooming in my front yard, in case you're wondering. Roses are soooooooooo hard to paint, but these are special and I really want to do them justice...

Experimenting with a circular canvas! It was totally Naomi's idea, and I'm loving it....
