My soul aches for beauty and the company of trees.


Self-portrait


On my birthday I decided to do something I hadn't done in years: draw. Sitting on the back of my chair hunched over my clipboard and shifting back and forth, I drew my reflection in the medicine cabinet. The facial features are all askew because I was too lazy to keep the proportions and angles right whenever I changed my position. Maybe it would be easier to draw other people. This is probably my fourth portrait ever, so don't laugh too hard.

Hummingbird


Today fresh anguish inspired me to draw this hummingbird based on a photo I took in Costa Rica. I wonder if the actual hummingbird is flying somewhere in the cloud forests of Costa Rica and taking a sweet drink of nectar right now...
