My favorite are the butterfly and the floral motif.

Cute ideas, especially for simple decor items that can be matched to my home. I definitely will try some of the abstract paintings and maybe even the flower motif. The butterfly was not appealing to me in the least but I appreciated the technique. As others have mentioned, the videos are somewhat repetitive and I would have appreciated a fast-forward through some of those parts that didn't have any "teaching moments", instead I just went to 2x speed, but that makes it harder to follow. Otherwise very nice. The instructor is sweet and has a very pleasant voice.
