Last night I spent an hour doing this doodle with just spirals drawn completely with dots. It was a good exercise for working through some -ve feelings. I finished it off with a camouflaged word. Can you see it?
I drew my first flower by copying the tulips on the lid of my colored pencil case. It was an unusual flower to me - not standard petals of daisy-like flowers that most people would draw if asked to draw a flower. I eventually exaggerated the flowers, draw

Sketch done in Austria during Nomadic Village in a beautiful national park. Austria is full of beautiful view that only in a horizontal format you can express it all! This sketch I finished off with one of my favorite natural medium, coffee. Enjoy! :)
Next sketch one from my travelling sketchbook 2016 made this summer, this time from a very short; but exiting stay in Berlin. Our van in from of our friend's house, which was going through a lot of reparations and where I painted a big mural :) Enjoy

Forget the fact that she was naked, or that she was sat next to an invisible man and that there was a monster trying to grope her. The dragon-headed man was smoking in a no smoking area. How fucking dare he?!
Tribal Hillary - I find her face fascinating and never the same from one time to the next. Sort of like every wrinkle and line telling us what she has been up to on any given day. I see a lot of fighting spirit in her, which inspired this portrait.
