Praying for Peace

February 4, 2026.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Continuing with my self-portrait a day project. I start with a blind sketch (looking in a mirror or at a photograph and not the page) and then fill in the rest. While creating this piece, I was thinking of what the world needs now: peace.

Blindly Finding Me

A new drawing exercise: draw a self-portrait everyday for two weeks without looking at the paper. It is a challenge, but it’s fun and I decided to add colour in a couple of them. Here’s where I’ve gotten to so far: I may have discovered a new art style. At the very least, it’s fun.

Backyard BBQs and picnics in the park – perfect ways to build community. The children benefit the most, I’d say. For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: motion

Lush, thick greenery of the riverside. The cool, calm water. Ice cream and two wheels. Summer vibes! (For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Summer Vibes)

Shoo, Pity!

A kidney stone, coupled with an infection has set me back five days – two trying to soldier through the pain, and three pursuing medical answers. Anyway, I’m on the mend, tired already of this foray into self-pity. Tomorrow, I keep telling myself, is a new day. (Image my own)
