August (s) (Patreon)

Now that I made this I just have to revisit January, to make that fit this one better. That's the problem with calendars, at least the way I look at them. They should  have a certain consistency about them that gives it a, more or less, natural flow. I wouldn't go as far as having the same character in all the images be it in different seasonal situations, although if this works I could see that happening too. All paintings should have a common look in some respects though. Not that on one the character is far away and only partially visible in others in a medium close or even close shot. I see it as sort of a magazine where all content is balanced and going together well somehow.

January is too far away compared to this one. Even though it works stand alone, it might irritate me in the series. I won't have to change too much but I will do some more work on that one.
August fits the heatwave we have at the moment so in that respect it's spot on. June and July might be seaside pictures too. I'm sketching stuff to see what works and what not. I will probably do September next though. Stay tuned!

Oh, look, she has a FB approved bathing suit on for the general public 😁
