Here she is " I see you" on a background from a textile design which I made for many years ago, I thought it suits pretty well to give the vibe

It was lovely to be wandering around in my thoughts while making this one

Many ideas came , but as usual my head is full and time flies being a mum, a co-owner of a vintage shop where I sell as well many cards from me :) and trying to make more illustrations on a regular base

That's my goal of 2026 , be more aligned with making art and being grounded in this world who is spinning so fast to slow down

" I see you"
lots of eyes and a hidden face in the butterfly, the last week I made a rooster and I wanted to make another one in the same colours

Just very calmly being busy with acrylmakers and let my mind wander

This week I will work further on this one , and there is off course the heron withing with patience to get ready for another round with fineliners ☺️
