Wanted to share this final illustration. I was playing with it for a bit and never shared the final result. Doodle inspiration from a lot of artists in this one! (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFbAGbjoY1/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve always wanted to mix the gesso with acrylic paint to start with a colored base, what best color than purple? Hehe. I miss so much painting! I’ll start sketching on it tomorrow :) (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQE6zdoDmxq/?utm_medium=tumblr

For some reason, Instagram is not letting me make a multiple/ carousel post as usual. So I’ll just post this low-quality phone photo of the painting cause it’s finished and wanted to share it with you! I’ll leave it for a couple of weeks to dry and then I’ll varnish it and send it to its new home 💜 Today’s book excerpt: “To inoculate ourselves against this derision, and to gain confidence in cultivating a contrary, more meditative attitude towards objects, we might profitably pay a visit to a museum of modern art. In whitewashed galleries housing collections of twentieth-century abstract sculpture, we are offered a rare perspective on how exactly three-dimensional masses can assume and convey meaning.” — ‘The Architecture of Happiness’ by Alain De Botton (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJwyrgjPit/?utm_medium=tumblr

Painting days 16, 17 & 18! Background is finished! Swipe to check it out! So many changes going on. Today’s book excerpt: “Boundaries are where our identity comes from. Boundaries define what is me and what is not me. Our work is part of our identity in that it taps into our particular giftedness and the exercise of those gifts in the community. However, many people are never able to find a true work identity. They stumble from job to job, never really finding anything that is “them”. More often than not, this is a boundary problem. They have not been able to own their own gifts, talents, wants, desires, and dreams because they are unable to set boundaries and others’ definitions and expectations of them.” - ‘Boundaries’ by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEjJRojCiv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Painting days 14 & 15! Swipe to see progress 💜. Had to skip a day in between because I was feeling very unwell after the second shot. I’m good now. Did you guys get it? Did you have any secondary effects? Today’s excerpt: “My dear Darwin, — I have been so repeatedly struck by the utter inability of numbers of intelligent persons to see clearly, or at all, the self-acting and necessary effects of Natural Selection, that I am led to conclude that the term itself, and your mode of illustrating it, however clear and beautiful to many of us, are yet not the best adapted to impress it on the general naturalist public.” - 1866, letter from Wallace (co-discoverer of natural selection) to Darwin.
