Ok, I think it’s done. I feel like this is a pretty respectable first outing (anyway I like it and I definitely don’t like everything I create)

Another day, another layer of red. I’m aiming for the overall impression to be red (with a lot going on behind it) but I’m adding it in very thin layers which is why it is mostly pink at the moment.
(I have no idea if this will work or not but it is fun trying.)

Working on something new (as in, I have never painted before). This is in progress. Acrylic and spackle on wood. (Sorry, the light in our basement isn’t great.)

Spent a lot of today doubting myself and some decisions. Probably not done with that for a while.
But I did get to see the Northern Lights for the first time (ever) just now, and that’s not nothing.
It got even bigger and brighter after this.

I finally got MB plates for my car this week, which I like b/c I felt very conspicuous in Winnipeg with NC plates. I hardly see out of province tags, much less American ones. Several strangers have remarked in parking lots about how “far from home” I am.
And this is who I pull in behind today.
