I’m exceptionally happy with this one. Those flowers.

Last prompt of the week was “favorite flower.” I ❤️ daisies. (And green. 💚) Trying to keep it super loose on the last day and see how much I can do in 15 minutes. Not completely successful, but super fun and encouraging to try. I may revisit it this week and see if I can tighten it up nicely with paint and/or pencil.
