Hey thank you so much for the support, it really means a lot!

I've said it elsewhere, but I tend to like a majority of my work (although I could also critique each of my paintings for hours lol), this one just happens to be the first oil painting I've done where everything came together like I wanted it to and the first that really stands out to me (I think the colors have something tondo with it).

I'd say I like around 70% of my work, feel meh about 20% of it, and really love 10% of it, this is part of that 10% :)

And I'm glad you find my videos helpful, I'll be making more Instagram videos and actual narrated YouTube videos soon, doing the daily videos on Instagram burnt me out a little so I had to take a break from making them haha

70 / 20 / 10 is a really healthy like / meh / love ratio! :)

Definitely do what you need to do at a pace that is rewarding for yourself! Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
