They remind me of soft summer days of my childhood, I'm sure some cute curtains or tablecloth has looked just like that back then 🥺❤️ I love them, very beautifully done nails!

As a parent: I agree.
I'm sure it won't be easy, kids will always find a way to sneak between cracks to look at stuff they weren't meant to.
But that's not a reason to try to build a fortress where even adults aren't allowed to look at stuff, take part and communicate in a legal adults ways.

This also reminds me of a mossy forest floor in midsummer 💚 Oh how I'd like to have a blanket like this on my bed, wonderful!

Kiitos ❤️❤️

Kiitos ❤️ Tuumin että olisi rikos piirtää tähän maisemaan ja valaistukseen mikään muu kuin punarautias suomenhevonen! Oli ihana saada karva hohtamaan taivaan kanssa kilpaa ❤️

Thanks! I wanted to do something gentle and soft, and challenge myself with this pink&blue winter scenery!

Thank you, lovely to hear I've succeeded ❤️I've wanted to challenge myself with this particular winter setting & lightning for a while now!

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Curious to see them in their winter outfit! These guys migrate here in the north during the summer to grow their offspring. They're more colorful then. Lovely creatures!

Don’t put down that pencil and for the love of god never listen to anyone who tells you to draw something “nicer.” Find your niche and fill it. You’re the only you, and you’re indispensable.
