In loving memory of Lilu. Gone too soon but never forgotten. (April 2012 - October 2021) This was my last painting of 2021. It was completed with ink, gouache, micron pens, and pencil crayons on watercolour paper.

Oh look, another year has flown by. 😆 Only 9 personal paintings this year. All of the paintings are  4 x 6 inches (10 x 15cm), or smaller.

Materials used: black micron pens (003, 005, 01), black and white waterproof inks, as well as white crayons and salt for some final touches and texture effects.

A variety of prints and other items are now available at my shops below. RedBubble Society6 INPRNT

Originals will be available through my Etsy shop. Till next time! P.S. My previous series {is here}.
