I noticed a theme this week: yellow. I certainly don't mind the change. Typically I'm pulled toward blues, greens, pinks (which you'll still find in these pages), but there's definitely more sunny yellow in general. Plus, I let the week end in a bright yellow bang with a banana!
This week I pulled some inspiration from my phone camera roll (the indigo milk cap toadstool and the sunrise landscape), plus some from home (the houseplant leaf, toast and banana.) Fun fact--I love toast. I would eat it every meal if I wouldn't feel guilty about eating so much bread. So one of my spreads this week is a lovely 'ode to toast' with some of my fave ways of enjoying it: strawberry slices and a touch of honey, topped with an egg, slices of avocado, and cinnamon & sugar. Yum!
By the end of the week, I really wanted to work with acrylics, so I found a seemingly easy but beautiful landscape in my phone photos. It actually wasn't difficult, but I took longer than estimated to complete it, per usual. I've found that when I work with acrylics, I tend to work on the piece until it's just right--no shortcuts and leaving anything looking unfinished.
Enjoy!
