These days, finding time to paint feels like a small victory (even if it’s just for less than an hour). So, getting older is pushing me to leave excuses behind.

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different painting mediums and have come to appreciate the immediacy that acrylics have to offer.

I started sketching more regularly later in the spring to challenge myself, but soon after, making sketches became a way to relax.

Although simple, doing a sketch is hard work.

Light is beautiful as it is intriguing. It takes well a lifetime to visualize light and manipulate it.

I have been enjoying sketching a great deal lately, and in my next blog post, I will share some of my favorite April Sketches and will do a follow-up to my experience using the sktchy app.
