DAY THREE: a dreamy sunset from the Oregon coast.

DAY TWO: painted the showgirl because of course. 😌❤️‍🔥

Starting off my Artober with a watercolor painting of Appa, a white-tufted marmoset, from @alveussanctuary.org. 🥹

Two watercolor paintings. On the left is a portrait of Bruno, a fluffy chihuahua with his tongue sticking out. On the right is a portrait of Ziggy, a mini Aussie wearing a green bandana with his tongue sticking out.

She was beautiful and still have no idea where she ended up.

Memories of the log slab painting I did are starting to pop up again and I fear that’s when I peaked. 🥲

Starfish that washed up onto the beach! I put them back into the water 🙂‍↕️

Partly cloudy sky, small ocean waves, sand, and grass.

The beginning of sunset on the beach with pink clouds appearing in the distance. My friend is walking her dog. 🐶

Beach weekend 🥹🩵

Love being in a snow globe and knowing I can still drive home. 😆

Scattered playing cards with hand drawn images.

Made hand drawn cards with Reece and I’m counting these towards my impromptu daily art challenge. 🤪

I love keeping a deck of cards in my purse to use when waiting at a restaurant or in cafes. Now we have our own to play with. 🥹

Gouache painting with the silhouette of Mt. Hood against a clear blue sky in the background. A field of orange, yellow, purple, and pink dahlias are in the foreground.

It wouldn’t be a new year without a new painting of Mt. Hood using my newest hyper fixation medium. Cheers to 2025!
