🦋 The last color along for January and it's a favourite! Continuing on the theme "On the Wings of Whimsy" this magnificent giraffe in his flying machine is soaring into 2026 on a wing and a prayer.

☀️ I really enjoyed creating the vast sky background using the alcohol markers to add color washes of light. I then reflected the light in the tops of the hills and landscape. And of course, the hero himself, resplendent in his Victorian costume cycling over the countryside. 🌲
