Spring still comes

Despite all that’s been going on, spring is still arriving on schedule here in Minnesota. It’s been reassuring to see the robins going about their normal lives.

It didn’t turn out to be in 7 days, but I finished my goal of 7 paintings to donate to Art4shelter with this dude. I believe it’s a grackle.

7 in 7 Day 5

The “in 7 days” part of my plan didn’t work out, but I’m still determined to paint 7 paintings to donate to Art 4 Shelter. Here’s #5. I always find fish fins really tricky- it’s hard to make them look delicate.

The pain of painting the different greens in this one was totally worth it for the joy of painting the flowers. This is another painting for the art4shelter sale.

Uuff today was the first weekday (a.k.a. work day) of my 7 in 7 and I had my doubts if today’s painting was going to happen... but here it is! This is a donation for art4shelter.
