Thank you so much! Means a ton. I think that’s a great perspective. To be honest I just tried thinking of the things I’ll miss about winter and I really struggled to think of anything 🤣🤣

Hi! Reddit just deleted my reply to your lovely note, I think because I posted a link. Thank you SO much for the kind words. Means more than you know. This painting is 4x6” - I do have more work but can’t post any links here I learned. Feel free to DM :) Thanks again!!

What an awesome compliment! Thank you so much for sharing your kind words. That’s so cool you thought this was a photo shoot at first 😅 sometimes when I stare at my painting for so long I can’t even tell if it’s good or not lol. Thank you again!!

Thank you so much!!! <3 Nope, no glow in the dark paint (although that sounds awesome). I used Liquitex heavy body paints ). The trick is to put the darkest dark next to the brightest bright, and it gives it that "glowy" look. Also another trick is just basically layering - my first paint layer was a super dark tree, then a dark layer of snow, then a soft glow of light, then some more lighter snow, etc. and just build it up. Art lesson of the day lol!

Ooooh thank you so much! That delights me to hear! :) The trick is in fact to trick the eye - when you put your brightest bright next to your darkest dark in the whole art piece, it’ll give that effect. Unsolicited art advice lol. Cheers!!

THANK YOU! These recommendations are terrific! I know we’d love to hit a cozy bar/tavern type place at some point - might we find something like that in Rockland?

Great idea! Been to the Owls Head Lighthouse before and loved it, so we’ll probably bop over to that area. Thx!

Haven’t been since I was a kid! Have been wanting to go for some number of years now. Thanks for the suggestion (/reminder)!
