“Golden hour vibes”

I basically had the song “Golden Hour” by JVKE on repeat, non-stop while painting this. It was pretty relaxing :)

“A setting sun at 4pm”
Oil on wood panel
10 x 15 cm

It’s kinda typical of Winter to have the sun set around 4pm (maybe even earlier than that) but the crazier thing to me is seeing the sun during Winter in the first place 🤷&zwj;♂

“Summer will turn into Fall”

It’s that time of day when you can tell it’s gonna be a pretty evening and it’s pretty now, but you know it’s gonna get even better :)

Living on a main road can be a bit awkward when trying to find parking :/

“It’s a LIME!”

I like to put tv shows I’ve seen before on while I’m working, especially Taskmaster. As the saying goes, “Live, Laugh, Lime”

A glimmer of hope for a nicer day ☀️
