“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time” A. A. Milne
I have a new painting to share with you today.
I like to think that in this piece we’ve strayed into a dream and here are two tiny friends lost in their own fun. I wanted something peaceful and quirky to emerge:
The first few layers of paint to go down are always about exploration… seeing what works and what doesn’t.
Once I liked the direction of the characters, I added the first few layers of background color. I always end up painting over my sketch and then I need to do it again, but that’s all part of the fun:
Then it was time for flowers, stars, little details, and color:

Adding something new into the world that wasn’t there before always feels like a little bolt of happiness. Prints and cards to come!
Have a wonderful week.
