I usually enjoy the period right before a holiday more than the holiday itself, maybe because I feel more relaxed thinking about a break than actually taking one.

Flowery fire hydrant
I can see this fire hydrant across the street right outside my home office window, and recently it has been surrounded by blooming flowers.
The watercolor wet splatter brush helped me quickly create the flowers effect.

Zero price effect
My current employer has great on-site meal services with high quality, nutrition, taste, variety, and in a subsidized price. The employees usually use an app to order and pay for the meals.
But today, when I tried to pick up my ordered meal, I found the food stall already closed. I was then told that since the app is down, we can just take whatever they like without paying.
As expected, the popular food stalls either had long queues or were already closed due to running out of inventory.
So I just had some salad which seems less popular or better stocked.

Aeonium
Saw this plant in the neighborhood and fascinated by its swirling leaves.
Instead of reproducing the exact details, I tried to capture the overall feels via freeform strokes.
