Green, I love you! But oh how I find it difficult to make you work in a painting! Haha! Well, I'm going to do my best to make it work in this painting, one way or another, one baby step at a time. So this week, I'm experimenting with something new and something old (my dear circles). The idea is to have fun and learn along the way. And when I do, I can always say it was a successful creative process.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
