Photo of five 2" square canvases in progress. Three sit on a paper towel at the bottom of the image. The left canvas is colored in yellow tinged with blue at the bottom. The middle is a green and blue background that gives the impression of a trail going through a grassy/shrubby field, and the left is a green and blue background in which the green is flatter and darker. Above the paper towel are two more canvases, one with a red ombre background and the other a flat olive green. A tube of white acryllic paint sits to the left of those canvases. Above that are a folded paper towel with some spots of paint and a plastic cup partially filled with water.

Above the color wheel are variegated orange circles and blobs to the right of a wispy patch of pale yellow in the shape of a half crescent. Below the color wheel are feathery/whispy fields of green fading into pink and orange, surrounding a small circle of green and a larger circle of lavender purple.
Photo of a room strewn with art supplies. A window on the left side of the shot has its blinds open to let in sunlight. There is a wooden easel in the foreground with a canvas on it, facing away from the viewer as if they may be the subject of the painting. There is a small glass table to the left of the easel, and on it sits a jar filled with brushes along with other art supplies. Shelves in the background and a plastic drawer sitting on the floor are filled with more art supplies. A few paintings, finished or in progress, are propped up in various places.
