Doméstika online courses have been very helpful & inspirational in fostering my creativity.

One of my favourite attempts at a portrait - painted in gouache

A charcoal study of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s last known work and his masterpiece. An appropriate post for today.

(I had gotten some new fine-point pens last week, and I figured this was a good way to test them out.) Two very different things have been on my mind lately, maybe there's a connection? I think it's interesting how it's taken me 4 years to figure something out, become comfortable enough to open up to others about it, and then embrace it. Yet it's like living a double life, being authentic to some and keeping secrets from others. On the other hand, to the person receiving this drawing, I know I can't do anything to change the situation even though I wish I could. All I can say is I'm forever grateful for all you do, and I truly hope you decide to take advantage of all the opportunities coming your way.

This is a drawing of the little joey bandicoot we found in his mama’s pouch after she had been hit by a car.

It’s spring! And I got to hang out with little chicks. They are little fluff balls of serotonin. (Drawing with my non-dominant hand).
