Starting another little painting today.
At this stage imposter syndrome is loudly insisting that there’s no way I can make anything of these blobs and I’m wasting my time.
Let’s see how this goes.

Day 17: Furniture
One of my first paintings, done in craft paint with a child’s paintbrush. I knew it wasn’t going to look like I wanted it to, so this was a “concept” painting with the intention of repainting when I got good enough.

I haven’t painted in months, but seeing everyone else’s amazing art in the #ArtAdventCalendar and #januArty prompts has inspired me to pick up a brush again.
Here is my first painting of 2025.

Day 10: Blue
Had to dig back into my old paintings to find something to fit the prompt. I guess I don’t do a lot of blue.

Cabled baby sweater I made for someone I met playing an online game many years ago. Plenty of texture in this one.

Day 7: Marks
I’m playing a little loose with the prompt this time, but what’s an apostrophe among friends?
Mark’s Pickles.
My neighbour (Mark) makes the very best pickles, and we often swap loaves of bread or tins of cookies for a couple of jars.
