I’m already two weeks into the „100 Day Project“ (#the100dayproject) from Elle Luna (@elleluna) in Instagram, painting for my 100 days of very quirky faces (#100daysofveryquirkyfaces), and I’m loving it!
The community is so supportive, and being part of such a creative movement thrills me. Please follow the project hashtag, not only mine, so you can see the amazing things people are doing worldwide in Instagram.

I’d been drawing my daily faces since August 2016 in pencil and a crayon, but having „dared to go full painting in acrylics” and take part in the project has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m enjoying every bit of it!

I say “dare” because with a one year old, you never know if you’ll be able to post or even do a drawing a day. A painting, even if in a small format like these (A5), is so much more work than my sometimes tiny drawings. The latter I would sometimes draw with Mathilda jumping on top of me; a painting, never ever so.

I have an art space in my flat where I can expand in time and complexity, to pour my heart over these, my daily paintings of very quirky faces.
