Portraits

Which path to choose

I am experiencing a sense of suffocation and mental emptiness. I am unable to comprehend what is happening or why I feel this way, nor did I anticipate such an occurrence. Life has taken an unexpected turn, presenting various possible directions, yet I am uncertain about which path to choose.

Portrait-oriented sketchbook

Even though I paint and sketch a lot in my portrait-oriented sketchbook, I haven't grown to love it. A sketchbook with a landscape orientation seems more adaptable to me.

Moments when we travel

Traveling gives us so many little moments to hold onto, especially with family. So much happens on the road, and looking back on those experiences is always fun. It’s even better when we can actually picture them. Sure, some things can be captured in photos—these sketches are even based on them—but maybe in the future, memories will come straight from life. And if that’s the case, why not create something from the old ones too?
