Look look look

She tries real hard, but she can't. Finished new painting last night; watercolor and gouache. I'm turning old doodles into paintings, if you noticed. I'm also thinking about what I should submit to the Communication Arts Illustration Annual competition this year. The deadline is March 11, but I always stress out about it, procrastinate, and then they extend it for another two weeks. I'm just gonna save myself the trouble and submit early this year. :) Not sure what yet though...

FOREVER

...or at least, until next week.

I'm on a painting kick lately; Enjoying it a lot, and hope it continues. I've also been making prints of my work and putting them up in my Etsy store. I've been experimenting with different papers for prints and I decided today that I like the Epson Velvet Fine Art paper. It's has a nice weight to it, and I think it works really well with the subtleties of watercolor and the slight texture that I like to add.

This weekend will be so fun! I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow night, for fun-filled playtime with Nate. yay! I'm excited to see snow and I'm bringing my camera to capture it for posterity.
