Maybe Sandy

I really enjoyed painting the warm yellow undertones for this shell, especially on top of the cool blue imprimatura. For weeks, I kept looking at it as a piece thinking, “Is this done?” I knew I could have kept adding to it, but I also really enjoyed the simplicity of the state it was in. There’s something that felt easy and open about it. 🪸

It's been months since I've done anything for my creative self. I think I painted this study months ago and still haven't posted it... but I'm reaching for the moon now, focusing on myself, and looking forward to a summer of painting. 🌕 ✨🪜​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Master Study No. 63. 2023.
