Realistic botanicals are maybe just not my thing. 😅 At least not until I can make myself stop overworking the paper with things that are definitely not working.

Anyhoo, I think that’s my last stab at this month’s subscription box theme. Moving along…!

Having a client declare their love for a design on the first draft is always a thrill, but having *two* clients agree to declare their love for the second draft of a design is maybe even better?

(I’m obnoxiously watermarking all my screenshots of this piece—even the rough drafts—because I’d be so mad for my client if it were stolen.)

Started work on a commission for a fluffy winter #raven. In case you ever wondered how animals even survive in #Alaska: The birds all have self-inflating puffer coats.

Spent most of day 32/100 blowing my nose and whining, but I can breathe mostly unimpeded today, so I’m back at it!

My March #watercolor subscription box arrived, and I’m liking the idea of these succulents. I’m not liking my execution as much, but there’s more paper in the box for redos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Example print on top, my in-progress version below.

OK, so now that I have really TINY brushes, I have complete freedom to overwork the shit out of even the tiniest paintings. 🤣 (That’s a size zero in my giant hand, for scale.)

Gonna have to learn some moderation here, or everything I touch is going to end up a blob.

Spent the evening touching up and reformatting this piece, then ordered my first archival quality giclée print.

It’s destined for the auction at this year’s #FabulousFeministFundraiser here in Fairbanks (by request, I’m tickled to report).

I took the day off. Entirely. Hardly even thought about art stuff. I meant to, but nope.

Sometimes when I bake bread, and I’m very happy with how it turned out, I take silly artsy photos of the fresh loaves.

Ahhh. The joy of unlimited undos while sketching. Birdfriend here finally has the right beak, with no more eraser or paper eaten up with trying.

Then once I get the angle of Bird's head *juuuust so* I have to move it back onto paper, and THEN risk screwing it all up during block carving. 😂

Very rough sketches. Hopefully destined for a linocut. Been rolling this idea around in my head for a couple-few weeks now… Hopefully I’ll have a carve-worthy bird by this weekend. :artcapy2:

Can you guess which one I sketched while looking at reference photos, and which was off the top of my head? 😬

I’m just here to say that #peonies are RIDICULOUS. Absolutely absurd. Nobody needs that many petals. They’re out here making ROSES look conservative.

What the hell, peonies? What. The. Hell.

Improved the attempted shrub, but kinda fucked up the grass.

Didn’t think I was actually going to do any New Art™ today, but here it is, ten to midnight, and I just made this tiny thing. (Can’t say as I’m too impressed with the attempted shrub in the bottom left, but the rest of it is quite nice, isn’t it? 😬)

Anyhoo, that’s a wrap on Day 7 of 100 for me. 😴
