Sense of purpose

Do you know what’s really changed since I’ve started this rather confusing and oft frustrating journey? I now finally feel I have a sense of purpose. I admit I’ve been rather very wishy-washy in the past, not really knowing what it is I exactly wanted to do. Granted, I always had a vague dream of … Continue reading →

As I was rummaging through a bunch of random paperwork, I came across a little sketch I never cared to finish from about 2 years ago. As I didn’t want to erase the little sketch, I just grabbed my watercolours and decided to finish it after all. It turned out a bit better than I … Continue reading →

These 3 canvases had been waiting for their final destination for some time, I had already given it 2 different tries, and 2 layers of paint as I had already started with them, but somewhere along the way it just didn’t pan out.

I could not have predicted that I would end up making quite a few of them, some work better than others, while the rest were just…so so. Or at least in my very humble opinion. But I’ve noticed that after having … Continue reading →

This has been one of those weeks where I couldn’t muster anything, or t least not something that really got my mojo going. I had set out to paint, but then DIY got in the way and at the end I was all painted out. As in walls. So this whole idea to paint another … Continue reading →

Well, no…not really.

The irony of people who are closest to you in theory, but may not know you at all in reality. It is one of those things where one truly wonders how well we know one another, truly, honestly. Sometimes I find myself being annoyed at the many wrong assumptions mostly my mother has of me. … Continue reading →
