Watercolor: Eva; Millie Advent Calendar

I finished a series of portraits I started during the pandemic – using treasured images friends sent to me with life updates. Eva is now nearly 3!

Also hit send on an advent calendar started in the winter of 2020. In my naive optimism, I thought I’d finish a series of 12 watercolor sketches in time for Christmas, each window pane opening to an image of my friends’ sweet poodle mix Millie. Since Millie’s caretakers are also artists, I included a note that they were welcome to recraft the exterior to their liking and just used simple blue cardstock.
