I did this again in 2020 however missed 2021 (consistency isn’t my power).

What Went Effectively

Right here’s what went properly through the 12 months:

• I produced much less work however of a better high quality. I appear to be taking longer to complete my work. I believe one cause for that is that I’ve tightened up my method and given myself much less room for error. Another excuse is that have permits me to see so many extra choices to enhance the portray that I used to be naive to earlier than.
• We did household journeys to Kingfisher Bay and Noosa. These had been my favourite vacation areas after I was a toddler. It’s good to see Elora expertise the identical childhood joys. Hopefully, she is going to take pleasure in fishing as properly!

• New work: 21. Beneath are my favorites.

What Didn’t Go Effectively

• Hardly did any drawing. Time has been restricted and I’ve most popular brush and colour over pencil. However, if I need to preserve enhancing in portray, I must preserve drawing.
• It was the 12 months of sickness. I’ve by no means been so incessantly sick. I’ll chalk that as much as Elora’s first 12 months at daycare.
• Didn’t learn many new artwork books.
• Kobe nonetheless struggles with the steps.
