Watch me paint “Parrots” in 2 minutes (time lapse)
Some of you may be following my blog to be the first to see my new paintings, if so- today’s your lucky day! No talking, just painting. đ đš
If you haven’t yet subscribed, please do so below. I use my oil paintings to blog about the beauty of life, philosophy and faith (I love metaphors), and this mysterious world we share. At the core of everything I share is a genuine wish for your prosperity and happiness, that the sun shine upon you and you are richly blessed. However, if what you’re looking for is art training or technique, you may find them here (blog series Compare 3) and here (free 12 week art course, take as few or as many classes as you like).
