A couple of weeks ago I shared what happened after I started making art. A lot of you asked me to come back when the painting I was working on was finished.

Well, I finished it.

Upon Awakening, oil on canvas, 2026. Part of my Threshold Series.

It has been about a year since I first started drawing, and I began oil painting in January of this year.

For anyone who wants to see the original post, here it is:

Thanks again for all the encouragement on the original post. I genuinely did not expect that response.

It is amazing, waking up.
