Pitch Perfect

This weekend I saw the Pitch Perfect trailer for the first time. I think I may have audibly squealed in the movie theatre. A movie about battling a capella groups featuring the charming Anna Kendrick? It’s like the movie gods are answering my prayers. But seriously, I love a good sing-off. Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit and Glee are two of my favorites and I can’t wait to add this one to the list!

With my efforts to paint more frequently and at smaller scale, I came up with the idea to make painted versions of people’s Instagram photos. We are capturing more and more with this fun little app, and the square format and recognizable filters make for equally fun little paintings. For my friend Kate’s birthday, I decided to to paint her a 6" x 6" of her Instagram pic of her family’s farm. I think it turned out pretty neat and I can’t wait to paint more of them!
