I was slowly improving from feeling uninspired few weeks before. I think starting my butterfly series helped a lot, and it was a hit! I wanted to do more oil paintings but with less work coming in, I couldn't afford more canvases and paints that was running very low. The weather was glorious, apart from some random rainy days (which was also pretty beautiful though), I was inspired by British countryside hence the bird I painted from my front garden (1st picture) and those butterfly illustrations.
My thoughts while being creative every day in July:
- My persistence was impressive - painting butterflies were surprisingly not easy so I ended up painting some of them twice for me to finally be happy with them. It was totally worth it now I have new products featuring them! Keep your eyes out for them as they are going to be listed on the shop super soon.
- Painting this windowsill painting that I didn't like, I wanted a challenge and to do something different. I wanted to try paint something bigger than a painting of object with white space around it, which is my usual style and that is fine - I just wanted to see what I am capable of! It freaked me out that painting a 'scene' was harder than I thought and I am trying not to let my fears take over. I have few ideas floating around and I hope I nail it next time!
