However, I painted a couple basic panels for decorative purposes.
This purple one is a polaroid photo frame for my sister's birthday.
The green one was supposed to fill a gap in my Zoom backdrop, but it wouldn’t stay on the wall (read: I didn’t make an effort to find strong tape…). Now, it lives on a shelf with my other 5x7 panels. The hand lettering creates a nice effect, though it takes more steps than I imagined between drafting with a brush pen, tracing, and laying down paint with a Posca pen.
I feel satisfied that I've acquired the basic competency to put together these functional projects easily.

I feel satisfied that I've acquired the basic competency to put together these functional projects easily. Having stepped away from making art daily, I’m surprised by how many art supplies I bought and how much I painted within a short amount of time this year. I like learning new things in an immersive way – focus is the key to doing anything quickly and well. However looking back at these phases always gives me the feeling that I was in a quasi-fugue state (but a good one).
