So I didn’t get a story done for yesterday. Maybe New Year’s?
But I do have another painting to share! My mother absolutely adores Chinese landscapes with the round mountains and waters and stuff. So I decided for her present I would (try to) make her one. Though having never done it before I was a little nervous that it wouldn’t turn out well. Even now I’m rather amazed at how well it *did* turn out (even if I see flaws that I’ll have to work on for next time, it still turned out a lot better than I thought it would.)
She loved it, of course. And it was so frustrating to keep it secret since as soon as I finished I wanted to yell HEY COME LOOK WHAT I DID! oh no wait, it’s for you, you can’t see it…
Anyway, now that the gift is given and it doesn’t have to stay secret, here is my Chinese inspired landscape:
