Two of my favorite subjects-the sparrow and the bougainvillea ♥️

I had to make a conscious effort not to go back to this page and add contrast. 

I have this constant dilemma…

I’ll start out thinking I’d make a “soft” piece. Something that will give a sense of calm. Then I’d end up with dark contrasts and more shadows than I’ve initially planned. 

It’s not all bad when that happens. Contrasts and shadows add depth and a bit of drama. But then I failed to stick to the plan 😆

This time, I’ve stopped when I should and I’m giving myself a pat on the back for that lol
