This weekend we were going to celebrate Emma turning 10 (approximate, because she is a rescue) with an Ancient Aliens-themed party. It is her favorite show.
Well... things went sideways.
Long story short, after a vet visit, we learned she needed to have surgery to remove a small mass in her neck :(
Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and we will get confirmation in a few weeks from pathology if the mass was benign. We are remaining hopeful that it was.
Happy birthday Emma! No matter what, you are out of this world
We all wear masks…some are beautiful, some are ugly, we change them depending on occasions or people we meet, but every mask is just another piece of who we are.
With this portrait I challeged myself to focus more on strokes than variety of techniques and brushes. I mainly used @jingsketch soft square render harmonic brush
About a year and a bit ago, I bought myself a copy of the very first Miffy book by Dick Bruna from Paper Tiger because as I often say, why not? And as many of you know I’m still a big kid at heart, hahaha.
More to the point, the style’s similar to my own and naturally… inspiration intensified today!
I took a moment to break out the oil pastels I have been meaning to use FOREVER. It is a tough medium, and I have lots to learn, but I am enjoying the process
