Art year 2021

I began painting digitally in earnest in 2021, vowing to draw or paint something every day.
For day one, I chose my precious Higgins (no longer with us, but always in our hearts ). I went on to ask for references from family and friends, and got some cool photos to draw inspiration from from all over the world!

Here's a selection of the digital paintings that were made, starting with that simple promise:
Draw something. Every day.
