Art Dump: Rainbow Storm and Two Snowflake Patterns

I visited my grandparents again yesterday, and I brought my laptop to see if I could get my Grandma into doing digital art. She seemed to enjoy drawing symmetrical patterns last time I brought my computer, though she struggled to use the touchpad, so this time I brought the mouse and it went a little better.

We ended up spending most of the visit drawing together, and by the end of it, I'd drawn a pumpkin, a basic pine tree, and the picture below upon their request, as well as two new symmetrical patterns.

Grandma also drew a couple patterns. I don't have permission to share them on the internet as a whole, so for now they're only available to my inner circle on Patreon. But here are the pictures I can share:

Rainbow Storm

Grandpa asked me to try to replicate a photo he keeps in his bedroom. The sky in that picture had a strange split effect; outside the rainbow, it was dark, but inside it was several shades lighter.

The photo didn't have the lightning or snowfall; those were added afterward upon my grandparents' request.

This picture was drawn freehand with a mouse, and I didn't really touch it up afterward, so there are a couple messy patches, but I like the way it turned out overall.

Amethyst Blades

I made this snowflake to show my grandparents how to use smaller, more restrained movements to make a tidier, more coherent pattern.

Woven Ruby

Here's another snowflake I drew as a demonstration for Grandma and Grandpa. I think it looks kind of like someone shredded a ruby into fine threads and then wove it back together.
