I’m doing a Paint-along on Instagram hosted by some artists I follow, using the letters of the alphabet as prompts each week. I joined in a little late so I missed “A”, but here are my paintings for “B” - “E”. I’m planning to try to do all the paintings in 5x7 inch format so at the end I’ll have 26 paintings to donate for <a href="https://www.simpsonhousing.org/art-4-shelter-2/">Art4Shelter’s</a> 2021 sale. Or 25, if I don’t go back and do “A” ;)<br />

For our 1st week homework assignment we had to paint with a HUGE brush - these were all painted with a 2-inch brush. (I usually paint with about a 1/2-inch brush, for reference.) It was hard to relinquish control to the massive brush, but I can't believe how "painterly" these turned out!<br />

Here’s a link to the <a href="https://pmp-art.com/lorna-webber/gallery/294050/mirrored-bouquets-of-spring">reference photo</a> I based it on, if you’re curious.
