I know a family friend who is amazing at pour painting and she had helped me create some works. One of my paintings I did relating to a cherry blossom tree for an art competiton that I entered. I didn't win, but I entered that same artwork for an art show and I got an honorable mention, which I was so proud of. I also did two paintings as a wedding present for my friend that got married last year, using mostly blues and greens as an accent to her house.
For the last two christmases, I had decided to give my entire family presents that I have painted. In 2021 I had painted mostly picture frames and signs for my extended family, like my aunts and uncles, cousins and their partners and family friends. Last year in 2022, I painted two ornaments for eveybody with different christmas designs. It was a lot of work but I was proud with the results and eveybody loved them too, which made me very happy.
For one christmas I was given a sign saying "You [&] Me" from sister as a random gift exchange, givin me an oppurtunity to paint it. I am obsessed with the movie "Encanto" at the time and I decided to paint each individual words as the three pairs of siblings in the movie, with "You" being Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno, [&] being Isabela, Lusia, and Mirabel, and "Me" being Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio. It was also a lot of work but I was so happy with how it came out.
