Paint, skulls, and butts!

Hello Friends!

Been busy. Working at a preschool and still doing some art, but mostly hanging out with 2-5 years olds all day. I've been getting some great ideas, though! And I'm happy to say I have a few new book ideas that I'm excited to work on in the coming months.

I started painting again. I'm out of canvases, but here's one of the little decorative, folk-art style piece I did for my room.

It sits on the wall by my skull and books, and my tiny owl, who watches over me at night. It's exactly what I wanted: colorful, abstract, and fun. I modeled it very closely of another artists paintings. She does work so similarly, but I just wanted something for my room, and for my own painting/meditative practices.

As I painted, I laughed because one of the paint dollops looked like a little butt. I took a picture so you could see. It was orange too! Oh little bottom, you blessed my painting with your presence that day. I will sorely miss you!
