We've had blue skies here all weekend, here in Brisbane, Australia.
We've said goodbye to Winter and Summer is well on it's way with really
warm weather today. We went to the farmer's markets this morning to
grab some fruit and vegies, and Miss 5 picked up some water bombs, so we
spent a few hours today running around the backyard throwing these at
eachother! The kids think it's hilarious!!
Friday night I also listed a new 8x8" painting I've been working on. It started out like this:

I worked more on the facial details I felt I wanted to make the
background darker and layered over it in a darker teal wash. Her wings
also transformed from "butterfly" to more of a "bat" style.
I then decided I wanted to make the background even darker and she started leaning towards having a more gothic feel.
I
swear these girls have a mind of their own. A lot of the time I have a
pre-conceived idea on what I want the painting to be and almost 100% of
the time it doesn't work out the way I imagined. They seem to morph
along with the creative process in to whatever 'they' want to be.
So she ended up as this:
