Hello June! ๐ผ
Itโs a new month and Iโm so excited because lots of things are happening in June! Lately, Iโve been overthinking a lot of my painting ideas so I took a break and decided to pick up on some hobbies such as the clay hobby, and went back to baking! I signed up for a class in two weeks and Iโm so excited to learn how to pipe flowers! ๐ง Having a few breaks from art makes me excited to try out new painting ideas! ๐ฅฐ
I won't be opening the shop this month since I want to focus on painting and sketching and plannng on doing a shop opening next month!
Paitning WIP
Yesterday, I started scribbling some new ideas for a painting and had the idea of painting a garden inspired by Blue and White Porcelain pottery ๐
I will be drawing inspiration from a Chinese garden and will be adding blue and white motifs! Iโll also be drawing a few little bunnies! ๐๐
Hereโs the sketch so far:

In sketch 1, I wanted to focus on the character but decided to expand the canvas so we could see more of the garden!
๐ BOOK COVER REVEAL๐
For the past few months, Iโve been working on some book covers, I want to show you a sneak peek of a couple of them! ๐
BEST WISHES #2
Previously, I did the first cover of Best Wishes by Sarah Mlynowski and got the chance to illustrate the second cover! This second cover is co-written by Debbie Rigaud! Super excited to show you the reveal! ๐

THE FROST FAIR
The second book cover reveal is called โThe Frost Fair,โ written by Natasha Hastings and published by HarperCollins. I am SO happy with how this book cover came out! โ๏ธโ๏ธ The designer and team gave me a lot of creative freedom with this one so Iโm excited to share it! You're the first to see it hehe! I will be revealing it on social media soon!
I will be posting a written process of how I created this cover, let me know if you are interested!
