A few more pleinairpril studies from 2022! I used the challenge that year as a way to spend quiet time with and connect to the new home I'd moved into. So a little less open air than the usual plein air.

I think I'd like to do plein airpril again this year - I did it a couple of times in 2021 and 2022 and it was a lovely way of connecting to my neighbourhood and home. It might be a nice way to get into gouache painting practice again.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy. Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.

The Quack of Dawn, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A green Stojadin car with ducks riding on it and a sleepy cat on the bonnet is left deserted by an overgrown electricity pole in a field of red poppies. It's sitting surrounded by undulating clouds, waves and almost abstract organic shapes in a wide-angle look.Details of the car and the ducksDetails of the electricity pole and some clouds in the background. Some details of intricate shapes in the clouds.
