Making time for new pieces for terranostra.life – painting abstract images based on the topic of nature and trees, shared online via @humanum@mastodon.art.

Working on a new website: the creative spot ~ which aims to celebrate creativity and encourage doodling as a means of staying sane amidst the overload of every day. Work in progress ツ

NOTE: my mental break from work, escaping into art and colour. Artwork created with Krita (my favourite: the most wonderful open source fine art app).
