    My best work has been done either when I am completely peaceful, or totally stressed out. I used to paint because I felt it was like "therapy" - used to embroider for the same therapeutic assets. I made a lot of art throughout my younger years.

    This is a study, acrylic, 5"x7", painted while looking out of my window.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    You're ALL amazing!

    Well, fortunately, all my poems are in Spanish (and translate poorly) so you will be spared those.
    Meanwhile, I have regaled you with my murals and portraits in this thread, all pretty stylized. I think I'll take a risk and share a rare foray into realistic painting. Here are "Ducklings", about 14 by 18 inches. Acrylics, pencils and watercolor (I bet you can guess which is where) on canvasboard.
