Hi, how are you over there?

It’s supposed to be summer already but to be honest, the weather is all over the place so I sometimes don’t know whether a jacket would be good or not. But, to be honest, I’d rather be safe than sorry. 🌧️

🚨 ICYMI: Summer solstice is here y’all ☀️

So for this past few days, it has rained, the sun plays peekaboo, it’s a bit windy and I keep on painting over here 👩🏻‍🎨

Though sometimes I’d like to share more about my paintings, it’s really hard for me to open up. Just writing these blog entries for the past few months has been overwhelming and felt dangerous as if I were stepping on legos all the time.

So I don’t push myself too hard and I don’t judge myself that much anymore for not going at a certain pace. I just accept myself.

And that has really taken a weight off of my shoulders.

I don’t need to explain myself to anyone but I thought I wanted to explain maybe why I sound so repetitive from time to time when I post over here. I just don’t want to say anything about me per se, the paintings are the important ones, not so much my life.

I’m still in the process of finding that sweet balance and that’s totally cool with me.

So getting that out of the way, (before I start crying, I’m a bit of a crybaby) I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank the people that have supported me, that read my entries, followed me over social media anyone who has shared them or even zapped me. THANKS! ⚡️

🚨 Loving me, loving you: some portraits made with love 🩷

And hoping to keep on improving and probably screwing it up on the way but also learning how to mend my mistakes, I’ll keep this for as long as possible. Painting has saved me every single day. I’m alive because of it.

And also food has kept me alive, yeah you know like eating some good nutritious stuff, like not animals.

💡 Maybe that’s one of the many reasons I love painting animals. Anyway, I painted a shoebill. As per usual, I thought it looked eerie, creepy and has a deadly stare, looks that kill. So it ticked all my boxes.

Just to let you know how scary they are… listen to this 👂

But don’t you fear my children. They are fascinating creatures, though I’d stay away from them just in case.

🚨 Another fascinating bird: Cassowaries, yes, I painted some.

So I started reading about them and researching some images to paint them (and got scared plenty of times) and found out they can eat baby crocodiles 🐊 and may even kill their siblings and they are also monogamous. Who would’ve known? Well not me.

After knowing all this, I was sold, I had to paint one, but instead I ended up painting more but here are some 🩷

Remember I was painting something but never showed what it was..?

🚨 To lighten up the mood , wanna see some goofy gifs I made? 🤪

Thank you so much ✨

Godspeed
