@lauracolorstoo Found an old copy of Enchanted Forest that fell apart (don't worry, I have a few copies of it!)... so I thought it's about time I did another page. I prefer working flat vs. in a book, so it was irresistible to me 😅
I love owls and, of course, blue... so here we are.
I've had questions about if I'm going to pick up some YouTube tutorials again, but I'm not sure. I have a shared studio space, but it's not quiet like my old studio was. I'm working on ideas, though, including setting up in my bedroom 😅
I've struggled with coloring and art in general since my sweet Abby passed away, as she was always my constant companion while I was creating. Her death left a deep emptiness that still hurts. She was 21 years old, and had a peaceful last day. Her little box sits with me now as I paint, and I think of her constantly. This one is for her, she loved watching birds.
If you want to see photos of Abby, check the coloringcat highlights reel on my profile. She's seen in many of my YouTube videos as well.
Wishing you a beautiful day 💙
