So, today I went on an errand and got distracted... Carrying your art supplies with you has it's downfalls😂.
.
On the other hand, outdoor sketching season is on! And I haven't missed the pink blossoms this year🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Hopefully, they'll stay on for a bit, as the weather seems to be picking up🤞

#randomquotesoftheday
When this quote crossed my way, it really resonated with me. I am a big fan of Mr. Poe and I got curios about it's provenance. Fun fact: turns out in his story Ligeia Poe hsf slightly misquoted Francis Bacon, the original creator of this phrase.

Remember that abstract charcoal wash background I showed a while back? Well, I am done messing with it. And let me tell you charcoal and cold-press paper are not made for each other. Hot press all the way next time, the smoother the better=)

One more portrait of my favourite niece, done as a Christmas present for the second set of grandparents. It's a bit different from the rest of the Float series, as the background is more developed, but I still think it fits=) What do you think? Which style do you like better?

I got featured in a podcast! My amazingly multi-talented Paint Nite colleague @wendyandersonart has started a sweet new podcast on art, creativity and what it means to be a working artist. I really enjoy her art and it was a great pleasure to meet her (virtually=) and to chat about art. She had some really fascinating questions! My interview is episode 4, in case you wanted to give it a listen 😜 (Link in bio)

Arrakis spice eater.

This was a really fun one. My two passions, art and books combined😁 Thanks, @dylan_sara , for the inspiration and @jeand0r
for sharing such a cool picture to work from!
.
.
I really enjoyed getting back to the Dune universe. However, I can't say I've gotten too deep into the series. I loved the world Frank Herbert created with the sand covered planet Arrakis filled with intrigue, human computers and giant sandworms that produce "spice", a drug that heightens your senses and turns its' users' eyes blue. Nevertheless, I found the quality of the series fall lower and lower with every subsequent book. I think I stopped somewhere on book 4. Did anyone go further? Is it worth reading till the end?
