I am making the final push to finish the secret project. I'm being a bit of a perfectionist (normal for me). I need to view the entire body of illustrations and feel a sense of flow.

A giant cat-like being with dragon wings sits on a bed of moss with an amethyst crystal and two small dragons.

A snail-like creature with an orange face, a weird little combover, and a poisonous mouth hoards his gold in his little white house.

The Elemental Guardian — ancient strength forged of stone, fire, water, and breath, watching over the seed of creation.

I have three paintings left to paint.

Another step closer… only six more illustrations remain before my secret project is complete. This piece speaks of the treasures waiting to be discovered within us.

There's nothing like a course direction to move the finishing line just a tad. The last time I posted, I had four left. Tonight, despite sharing three illustrations, I still have seven left.

I am not certain how I feel about this one, but I've been painting roses for days, and I'm just a little over it 😆

These two are the Guardians of the Rose Portal. Four left.

This was more difficult than I thought it would be as I tend to use a range of colours across each painting.

My attention has been snared by my secret project. There are now only five illustrations left, and I am going to do my utmost to have them completed within the next month.

This is The Heart-deep Portal.

This beautiful critter is another illustration of the secret project, but do I go with this new version (dark) or the original (red)?

This is The Emergent One, and there are now 7 left.

Once my secret project is completed, I have the sigil deck and Lenormand to finish. Then, I have decided to work on tarot decks exclusively. And because I now have to paint originals to pay the bills, I have made a start. This is Coyote - The Fool. A new journey begins.

It's been a week of disruptions. Only a few tasks on my to-do list were completed. I am somewhat frustrated by this, but at least I finished another painting. This one's been half-finished for 3 years.
