"Daddy & Glady"

I thought it would be fun to share with y'all. My 3-year-old wanted to paint with daddy the other day. So when I painted my watermelon paintings she used the same colors and made two small watermelon paintings for herself. It was a lot of fun to paint with my little girl.

I've been struggling to loosen up in my paintings a little bit. Trying to use the brush to really envoke more feeling into my paintings. So I mixed it up a bit and went with smaller closer-up subject's. Bring in the watermelon. To really work on being looser in brush-strokes. i think it worked in breaking me from the rut of trying to be too precise in my paintings. And they were a blast to paint too!
