🍂 Hello October! + Updates 🍂

Hello Patrons! ✨

I'm back from my trip!! I had so much fun and am glad to have experienced exploring Italy! 🇮🇹  I took so many photos but decided not to spam you guys too much, so I just compiled some of my favourite images hehe 🙈 

My first stop was in Rome! My family and I decided to see the beautiful Trevi fountain and the Colosseum! We also ended up walking around exploring the beautiful streets! Sadly, it was raining most days, but it was still so beautiful!  ✨

One of the places I really wanted to visit was Borghese Gallery! 🎨 I originally wanted to go there to learn more about Caravaggio's paintings but was blown away by Bernini! We did a guided tour, and our tour guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the art, so they made the experience ten times better! This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! 🇮🇹🎨

After Rome, we headed over to Tuscany for my aunt's wedding! 💍 We stayed at this beautiful place and spent some time with my cousins and family (lots of dancing and eating, haha!) We also did a family tour around Siena and San Gimignano! 

Our last few stops were at Florence, Milan, and Venice. I really loved Florence and loved the food there so much! I spent my birthday there and my sister booked tickets to the Boboli Gardens. It was so beautiful that day!! I was happy spending my birthday with my family and partner in beautiful Florence! 🌼

I really enjoyed this trip and feel so inspired by the beautiful cities! I want to create a few paintings inspired by my trip in the future! It was also really nice to have this vacation and take a break 🥹🥹

📮LUNA AND ROSELLA REWARD UPDATES📮

Rewards are here!! I will be packing the LUNA rewards this weekend and sending them off soon! I will also reply to your Patreon messages today!  🙇Thanks so much for all your patience!! 🙇‍♀️ Unfortunately, I made a silly mistake and accidentally selected the wrong paper type for the ROSELLA rewards (4x6 prints) 🥲  so I'll have to re-order them which will cost a slight delay for the ROSELLA rewards. I might put them as B grade prints in my next shop update! 

🧙‍♀️ WITCHTOBER 🧙‍♀️

I have some ideas I want to paint for Witchtober, so I'm hoping to finish a painting before heading to Lightbox next Thursday!! I'm already seeing so many witchy and fall pictures and it's making me want to paint already haha 🍂🍂

I'm also thinking of painting something inspired by my Italy trip! 🥹🥹😊😊

LIGHTBOX EXPO

I ordered some bookmarks for Lightbox to give it a try! They turned out so cute!! If these do well, I'll continue selling them at my shop!

Thank you so much for supporting me!! It really means so much to me!! 😊😊

Love always,

Maxine
