living a values-driven artistic life

Welcome to another episode in this painting's process and progress. The first few steps are out of the way, with the drawing done and my underpainting maybe at 70 % done. And I could not be more excited for this one. The light and colors are giving me feelings of spring which has been great for my spirits.
I may have rambled a bit in the vlog, but all of it has been in my head lately and it felt good to put things into words. We also wrapped up part of the floor install in the house and enjoyed some sunnier days!
