I don't know, wanted to draw something, but kinda felt demotivated. Didn't really have an idea and felt like I'm not in a good mental state to draw because of stress at work. I just knew I wouldn't like whatever I'd draw, so...
I painted instead.
Got some cheap acrylics the other day to paint something for my coworker who's leaving at the end of the month, and I wanted to try them out. Used a photo from her vacation that she had sent me last month, and all in all I'm not too unhappy with it.
The paints are cheap and you really felt it, but I hope I can still make it work for the final gift for her.
I'm really happy when Christmas is over, this whole season is so stressful at work, and I hate it... used to enjoy this time of the year, but people have ruined it for me.

Painted Lucas Numbers
The Lucas numbers or Lucas series are an integer sequence named after the mathematician François Édouard Anatole Lucas (1842–1891), who studied both that sequence and the closely related Fibonacci numbers. Lucas numbers and Fibonacci numbers form complementary instances of Lucas sequences.
The Lucas series has the same recursive relationship as the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two previous terms, but with different starting values. This produces a sequence where the ratios of successive terms approach the golden ratio, and in fact the terms themselves are roundings of integer powers of the golden ratio. The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between.
The first few Lucas numbers are: 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349 ....
The Lucas spiral, made with quarter-arcs, is a good approximation of the golden spiral when its terms are large. However, when its terms become very small, the arc's radius decreases rapidly from 3 to 1 then increases from 1 to 2. (From wikipedia.org)
