Dear friend Jessica asked me to paint her something. This is the 3rd time I've mentioned her on this blog, so I guess I'm, like, totally in love with her or something?
Anyway, she requested a Tiffany blue, white, and gold 12x12 canvas.
It is super hard to paint for someone else. The whole time I was obsessively thinking IS SHE GOING TO LIKE IT IS SHE GOING TO LIKE IT SHE WONT WANT TO HURT MY FEELINGS SO SHE WONT TELL ME THE TRUTH IS SHE GOING TO LIKE IT OMG.
First, I did this.

Super boring. Totally doubting my talent.
Then, this...
I had tried to add some interest or texture. I texted Jess this pic and she was like "ummm... Are you done? How about adding some more paint?"
Totally thinking I was done, I replied, "Of course I'm not done! Just wanted to show you!!" 😳
So then, I played around some more and sent this..

She loved it! Yay! So now I just need to varnish and clean up the edges! Yay!
Thanks for your confidence in me, Jess. As usual, you have more faith in me than I have in myself.
