What I've been working on. Tidy up time now! (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are keeping busy and staying healthy.

I don't know about you but I have a few little things that need to be right before I start a new painting. Namely my painting room. I like to start with a clean space with everything set up neatly, brushes clean, mess put away etc. Then something happens to me during the creative process and it ends up looking like a tornado has gone through by the time I've finished the painting. The room stays like that for a few days (as pictured here) while I go and do some editing on my computer and then when I'm ready to start a new painting I have to tidy it up again before I start. Please tell me I'm not the only one with these strange habits! 🤪

I've just finished this little frog. He jumped into my life over the weekend. He hopped ahead of the Heron that I had planned but I'll get onto the Heron soon. The frog will be a tutorial too. I will upload the Goose tutorial with three colours in the next few days. I've also started putting together a full length tutorial of the Barn Owl that's on YouTube - quite a few of you have asked about that one. I have the Water Lily to work on and the little Harvest Mouse pictured above as well as the Kookaburra and the Carolina Wren. There's lots to keep me out of trouble.

Thank you for your kind messages of concern about my eye. I'm battling on with all the little floaters and occasional lightning strikes in my eye but hopefully it will return to normal soon.

Stay busy and safe!

Louise
