End of #Spring, and beginning of #Summer here in #Greece. Everything's just turning hot... This is a painting I did in December, but only now I have access to a scanner.
A new painting after a long time... Not sure I have it in me anymore...
I had to paint some swallows because they're trying to make a nest in our house. Unfortunately, that part of the house is going to be sealed off within 2-3 months (it currently is wide open because our house is not finished, and because if we don't seal off that part, we can't get house insurance), so the worst thing that could happen to them is not being able to return to their babies. So we keep destroying their barely-started nest, daily (because they keep coming back). It sounds cruel, but it's the right thing to do. We already have another swallow nest on an external part of the house, and that's all good. We love to have them there, swallows are great and very smart birds.
My mom was kind enough to bake cookies and paint the cookies, then she took pictures of the cookies next to the carvings!
I love how she paints them. It reminds me of when I would beg her to draw clothes for my paper dolls as a kid. The outfits were never 80’s cool, but they were vibrant and creative. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
Two paintings I did over the Christmas period while in France, to gift to family there. Their style was inspired by artists like Essoldo and Mirdinara.
