Loved your stylized trees!! I always struggle sticking too close to my references, so these are really inspirational.

The "being too precious" line is oh-so-perfect. I needed to hear that 💕

Oh gosh, your paint palettes are a work of art themselves! I am so impressed you managed to paint every single day in April. Such a joy to follow you along the journey!

Thanks for sharing your exciting new art challenge. And I would say you did fantastic Danielle! From this post I learned that I should probably do more painting from life. I don't do much of that anymore since I mostly paint hyperrealism portrait paintings which has intense detail. But it's good to also replenish on other places where I'm less confident and want to improve in and get more familiar too. You inspired me to try!
