P.S. I just listed prints of the aperitif painting

Yes!! It’ll be available soon!

I do almost all my painting on one desk because I tend to work pretty small, so that part is totally doable as long as you aren’t keeping a whole inventory of supplies that you need a closet for (which I do since it’s my job, but not super necessary if you’re more of a hobbyist I wouldn’t think). As far as disposing of stuff I can’t speak on that because I don’t have the metal trashcan that you’re supposed to use, and probably don’t do a great job of throwing stuff out in the safest way. I will say that I use the same jar of solvent for like a year straight because all the sediment settles at the bottom, so I’m really not disposing of solvent like… basically ever, I just swap it into a new silicoil jar when the pile of sediment exceeds the height of the metal coil thing 😂

Permanent rose, cadmium red light, and cadmium yellow bright! Sometimes hansa yellow deep as well

silver origami crane ✨ I had about 100 of these hanging from my bedroom ceiling when I was a kid. Second painting postpartum—Fern turned 10 weeks old on Sunday!

Work in progress. I can squeeze in a couple hours of painting on the weekends right now if I get lucky. Itching to get back to this one tomorrow maybe!
