And what a mighty-fine goat that is! All your drawings are delightful! I love the colors you picked in the Megacolor pencils. I'm just finishing my wishlist and definitely adding some fun colors in those it! Oh I wonder if they have vermillion! Going to look now!

Must be all that goat practice from last week! 🐐 I have about 5 or 6 colours of the Megacolor pencils on backorder yet and I thiiiink there is a vermillion in that set, along with a soft dusty pink that I’m really looking forward to.

Always amazed with the amount of art you do every week Melissa (I know I always say this 😄), next year I will commit to get more consistent! That goat is simply perfect and OMG 100 pugs, crazy and cute in the same amount 😍😍😍

I am amazed by the amount of detail you managed to paint for the Interiors session. Ray is not wrong, the mountain is very present because it is light colors, but I am sure your sister and niece will love this painting. Your goat is perfect and I love your black and gray Hollywood drawings. Happy anniversary (?)

Thanks Hippo! 🤗💖✨ You noticed the (?) Anniversary (?) did you? hah! The beginning of our relationship was such a slow, sneaky but lovely build-up it was hard to pin down a date so we eventually had to settle on a best guess

I think I want to work more on the mountain piece but I’m so afraid I might ruin the whole thing. The worst that would happen is I need to crop it, so it’s not a big deal.

So: Happy anniversary! 😁👏🏻

Sometimes it is good to wait a fews days to come back to a painting before deciding if you really want to work more on it. But it is ok to stop here despite the bright color of the mountain, we clearly see the people in the foreground.

Also, you've just sparked a conversation about eating 100 Kings Hawaiian rolls in 100 minutes.

I’ve only ever had Kinds Hawaiian rolls one time when I was visiting my brother in Oakland… we do not have them in Toronto 😩 I would love to join you in that challenge but would need about 2 litres of gravy to go along with the rolls LOL
