2018 was the first year I painted. My chosen model was a Chips mule. I had her prepped barely on time, but she was ready. My hair was super faded, though I added more color shortly after this photo. I had not yet discovered Overtone conditioner I don't think.
2019 my chosen model was a Maggie Bennett micro mini, Hugh. My hair was colorful, I knew about Overtone, and I didn't prep ahead of time. Again. My model was smaller than anything I had ever painted, and more expensive than anything I had painted. 2019 was the year I learned NO FEAR painting. Nothing scared me and I tried a lot of new things. Not all of them worked, but that was OK.
This year my chosen model was my Ballycor resin that my friend Marisa gave me. I prepped her far ahead of time and I was ready for NaMoPaiMo. I had a plan, I had supplies... except I didn't have brushes! I had been painting minis and micros so I pretty much only had tiny brushes. So I picked up some new brushes and was ready to paint. I was nervous about the size of the model, since I had not successfully painted a traditional scale horse that I didn't then want to hide in a dark place. My hair is more colorful than it has ever been and I think the multiple colors looks way better on me than just straight pink. I also think I may be getting younger every year...

You certainly show less wrinkles. I'm going to attribute this to painting success--! Yes, the first year I didn't participate directly, but I did indirectly. And while I hate taking a selfie, I discovered that a photo by one's s.o. would do the job perfectly well.
