Day 226. It’s only the air

Day 224. The most beautiful things happen in the shadows

Day 215. Porcelain birds

Ileż to krów Hermesie znów skradłeś Apollowi?

Day 214. Meditations on Yucca

Meditations on Yucca – how, on a surface filled with chaos, a few precise moves define order, between the light and the dark.

Day 212.

Done.

Day 211.

Dear, I’ve powered through the next stage of the painting on coffee and aspirin, checking my pulse with my hand every now and then. I flipped a coin,…

Day 210.

Dear Mr, Dear Doe, All quiet on the eastern front. Though it’s no walk in the park—exams are chasing me down: History and Science. I believe, after raising…

Day 209.

My dear, I’m having a wonderful time. Hope you’re catching at least a tiny spark of this joy of mine. I started a very charming picture (despite appearances,…

Day 208.
