Flowery horses #3: Bill and apple blossoms

Next horse underway! Cute little Bill looking out from under the apple blossoms. 

It's taken me a lot longer than I thought to get into any sort of art mood again. With the weird school term winding down (half my students were ignoring the last three remote schooling tasks I sent them anyway, so I had far less to mark than the weeks before), I had thought it would take me less time than usual to put a term behind, but as you can imagine, being ignored by students isn't quite as relaxing as actual holidays are, hee. (I will never see those students again, which is definitely the best for all concerned. They all got their Latin degrees, though a lot of them were well aware it was just because of coronavirus rather than through much merit of their own, and they probably wanted to put that episode behind them as quickly as possible, too.)

I'm leaving for a week with my parents tomorrow, but it'll be good to look forward to a proper painting to finish when I get home! I hope to do some sketching on the train and at my parents' as well, so there should be some little doodles in your inboxes in the coming week.

You probably saw a tiny uptick in your Patreon charges over the last two days, as Patreon now collects taxes on some services. If I've done it right, it should be minimal. I made sure to designate the rewards in a way that's best for you while still complying with the law.

For those of you still waiting for your March/April orders to ship - I have no news at all. :( I had hoped that, with states reopening, the post restrictions from overseas would be lifted, but with the new peaks in the US, it seems unlikely to happen as soon as I'd hoped. As ever, thank you so much for your patience with this frustrating situation.
