art. coffee. meditation

Art and coffee on a cloudy Saturday.

I go to bed late, and wake up early. I like to start my day with a cup of coffee, art, and end my day the same way. My form of meditation.

the colosseum

The Colosseum | 10"x8" | ink on watercolor paper

After six months of off-and-on work on this portrait, I can finally say it's complete. And just like that... it was sold. But made affordable, limited prints.

Work in progress a few months back.

 The Colosseum was a challenging drawing, but patience helped produce a rewarding finish, and confidence to challenge myself in the future.

**PRINTS AVAILABLE** 9"x8" mini prints $20 at Society6

Most of the times, I don't like my art, but once it goes on a frame, and on a wall... I get this unexplainable smile accompanied by goosebumps.

I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know what I'm doing. The more I draw, or try to experiment, the more I see that I need teaching, constructive criticism, someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it.

I know I can be a lot better at this.
