I like it just like that, as if they are materializing from the red canvas.

Thank you. I always like it in the mid way point as well.

Nice energy and composition!

Thank you so much. ❤️

This is lovely..

Thank you so much h. 🥰

This goes hard. Love the movement you convey with this.

Thank you so much! 😊

You're most welcome had to share your art with friends.

Such elegant hands

Thank you! 😊

I just have to share that your depictions of queer joy are absolutely breathtaking and they resonate deeply with me. As a lesbian, there's something unique but universal in the way you capture the LGBTQ+ community's experiences. Thank you for brightening my feed with your beautiful art! ❤️

That means a lot to me. I know I can make every single individual in our community feel seen but I sure try my damndest.

Stunning

Thank you!

I've noticed with a lot of your work you paint with a red or deep coloured base, but its not featured in the final piece. Any particular reason for the colour specifically? preference or does it help with the final overlay tones? I used to paint on primed canvas with either white or clear base

I generally do the background in a burnt sienna. I just find it less jarring to work on a semi nuetral colored background. White is always very jarring to me. Plus this body of work isn’t about perfection so I let the background bleed through in many places and become part of the piece. :-)

That makes a lot of sense. And a very useful tip too.

Very nice!

Thank you! 😊

Are you, if I may ask, a Hurd of THE Hurds?

Haha, related to Peter Hurd? No. Growing up I was told we were related but back then there was no real way to prove it. So while I don’t think we’re actually related, thinking there was an artist in my family did inspire me to create. It’d also showed me it was possible. :-)

Awesome!

Thank you! 😊

Wow that is amazing

Thank you so much. 😊
