Every year I participate in an online challenge called Art Every Day Month. (More info here.) Here’s today’s piece.
RIP Nellie Rebecca McAllister Weaver, 1914 – 2015 iPad fingerpainting
I was planning to go to a Día de los Muertos celebration with some friends today, and was thinking about my dear grandmother Nellie who died a few months ago as I doodled this calavera. Marigolds are traditional flowers for the Mexican holiday, but instead I included Nellie’s favorite sunflowers.
I love how Dia de los Muertos takes something as serious as death and makes it so beautful!! I love the colors you used, so bright and alive, especially with the sunflowers.
