“Clouds” Cedar Park, 2023
I’ve added some clouds and stars to the painting I am working on for my wife. It’s almost done! Only 2 months behind schedule. 🙄

I finally painted a purple sky that I like. It’s probably the fourth try! 😫 But I also found a blue-green that I like for the mountains. Next up is the foreground and then some clouds, and I also need to think about the stars. Fun fun fun.
Working on the sky portion of a painting, I am trying to recreate some of the purples I saw in Lilo & Stitch.
They’re close, but not quite what I want. So I’ve done some research (on Youtube of course) and ordered the colors of acrylic paint that hopefully will get me there.
I set up my old easel and a small table so I could work on a painting that will be a birthday present. How fun to do a painting in acrylics again. It’s been so many years!
I have a short deadline (which I will miss) and I’ve been procrastinating, but I want to make sure the painting is just how I want it. And I’ve been using my iPad/Procreate to help with the design of it, which is a lot of fun. I’m already thinking of the next painting I want to make…
Mariko asked if I could make a painting for her for her upcoming birthday, so I went to the Jerry’s Artarama to buy some supplies. I’m kind of excited to paint!
