During my school days I used to love going to the Art at lunch time. We really were able to create what ever we wanted. I used pain brush strokes, tracing paper and really explored.

This is a acrylic doodle on canvas as a gratitude to Deepak chopra.

A drawing/sketch I made to prepare for a bigger painting I planing.

Sunset beach. Watercolour Study. March 21, 2020. Finally getting a bit quicker and trying to use lighter strokes and not be heavy handed.

Acrylic paint abstract

I can relate to this girl so much. She's wearing a fancy dress, at a fancy event, and she's got her sketchbook with her. That sounds like me, honestly.

Acrylic paint and hairdryer art

I put the tone in first and laid the ink on top, not a great result.

Hand drawn illustration

Second digital sketch ever. Kinda better than both first one and third one.

Back to watercolour

Shadows follow but I will move on! I have PTSD, so I am tormented by my past. Anxious for what's behind me. But I won't let that stop me! I may have "Lead in my shoes" (Dutch "Lood in mijn schoenen"), sometimes feel empty while on other times I am red from anger, nothing will stop me moving on. There will be temporary throwbacks, progress is not linear, but I will get there. I won't drown in self-pity this time.

Charcoal & pastels Digital art. Inspired by Sleep on the floor by the Lumineers

Ink pen

It’s a very tranquil street. Also, an asylum behind the white wall. And a small and very quick sketch as well.

Testing post

I was sketching some emotions and one of the sketches has gone too far and developed into a complete piece.

A Fairy Tale for every child..
