I love this, makes me think of walks I've been taking at this time of year

Yes! I'm so fascinated by them being the one surviving species... A great history of their leaves as motifs in art too, and now having studied them for myself I'm really appreciating that on a new level

Maybe the most vibrantly yellow trees I've ever seen at this time of year. I don't usually use this colour a lot but these autumnal studies are partly about experimentation! I tried a few different rounds of painting them in different ways before I settled on this style and I'm pretty happy with it.

I also wanted some kind of framework to get myself experimenting, practicing and sharing what I'm doing without the pressure of a hard goal or time frame in mind. It's very important to me to do things at my own pace, but also to keep up a routine.

This time of year is sometimes difficult as I don't look forward to the impending cold and darkness of winter, but I feel this makes it even more important for me to celebrate the things I appreciate.

... Bluesky whyyy... thank you for letting me know!!

I can't guarantee international buyers from other countries won't have to pay any fees unfortunately, but I do my best to ensure customs are handled accurately and this solution for the US situation seems to be working fine for now.

Oh wait, it's on other platforms as well as the switch too, that makes more sense... I got the wrong idea from it being on Nintendo direct haha... Even better though!
