My Favourite Peachtober Pieces

Kite from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Kite was the one that made me feel confident about my style choice for the series. I realized I love how wild and expressive my brush strokes were and felt confident I could do the same thing 29 more times without getting bored.

Slug from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Slug, while being my least favourite word in the prompt list (and least favourite thing in general), turned out to be the colour palette a loved the most! The bright red on teal was just the most wonderful thing and I intend to make a larger painting (or series of paintings) in this palette.

Poppy from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Poppy was another one that turned out so much nicer than I had envisioned when I started out. The red on green just popped (lol popped…poppy..hehe) so perfectly.

Melon from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Melon became a favourite because, not only is it a perfect combination of red and green (i’m finding this is my go to colour palette) but it was the second easiest piece to paint. three swishes of a brush tail and I was done! Painting is so satisfying honestly.

Ghost from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Ghost , was the easiest to do. After getting the whites and greys down just slap two eye holes and we were done. Haha I really loved it.

Gingham from my Peachtober 2025 collection

Gingham, while I felt it was my weakest piece throughout the series, it became a favourite simply because it showed me how subjective art can be and how wonderful that is. I decided to post all of my peachtober pieces for sale and was going to leave Gingham out as I felt it wasnt at the level of the others, but on the day it was shared (even before tell anyone they were for sale) a friend that had suffered a great loss recently asked if it was for sale and that it really spoke to him. I’m not sure what he saw in it but it was a reminder that we need not worry so much about how we feel others may perceive our work. Everything we make will speak to someone.
