Happy Monday !!
I’ve been painting all last week. A lot of progress to go still, but I think I’m going to consider two more pieces from the pile finished.

The first is “it’s such a perfect day” – acrylic paint, pen, pencil, chalk pastel, and fabric on 16x20 stretched canvas.

​
The second is untitled for now, but is acrylic paint, pencil, pen, crayon, chalk pastel, and Swarovski crystals on 12x16 stretched canvas.

​I’m not really good at wrapping up projects. Maybe it’s just a lot of overthinking, I don’t know. I do like how these look currently, though. I don’t paint food a lot, but I’d love to get better with realism/textures. I’ve had this idea about a series of individual cake/dessert paintings I’ve wanted to do since I went to a Makino sushi and visited their dessert bar.  (Their Orange county location is closed, but if you’re in vegas you’re in luck :,0)

Anyway, the other pieces I put time into this week are still works in progress. I’m hitting a wall with a few of them, but think I have a better idea about the direction I’ll be taking them in. 
Next week: painting/ drawing week #2
​I have plans to have a few more projects finished by the end of this upcoming week. I don’t have much to share about them just yet. For that untitled piece with all of my childhood art, I hope to gather more early artwork from my mom’s place to add to the canvas.
I’ll be back with more progress and more completed pieces.
keeping it short & sweet !!

Thanks for stopping by <3
