Lightning Moon
Acryla Gouache and Gold Leaf on Aquaboard Panel

This is a small personal piece I did recently in developing a new daily art process where I am practicing with other mediums outside my norm and trying to really just play and enjoy the experience of making art with my hands again. I find some days as an artist, I get so caught up in making what I think others will perceive to be the “perfect” piece, and this one was more so just for fun and to play again and lean into where the piece organically took me. I took inspiration from an online prompt that simply stated to combine lightning bugs and moonflowers.
