As an antidote to the grey, cold dampness of February in England, I’m sharing a painting by Roger Mühl this week. The clear blue skies and the sunny garden scene draws you in: it is uplifting.

I’ve got a lot of things to do today but it’s been hard to focus lately, so I made some snakes for #chinesenewyear instead. 🐍
I used Este Macleod ‘s color prompts: rust, pistachio, turmeric, and green grey. #snakeillustration

Week 3 Coloricombo colors feature lime, marshmallow, powder blue and lavender! I found this week to be a challenge- the colors have a similar tone- but I adding in some elements in white helped me with contrast.

This year, I'm doing the #coloricombo challenge. Each week, artist Este MacLeod posts an inspired color palette.
