Sun




I started painting and I just kept on going without knowing what I wanted. And then I realized I wanted the simplest thing to be there - the sun that we all used to draw at some point in our lives.

Tulips and a boat

This was taken just after painting. It is still wet and the contrast and color balance of my phone camera was bad. I thought this was a decent painting. Tulips and a boat in oil.

Thai and Slovak

I made these tablature based on what I heard. It's a decent guide to finding the exact notes.

Another try on oil

I've never been good at linear human made objects. It didn't turn out to be what I wanted.
After 3 hours of painting, I thought I'd put it here anyway
