I'm presenting this piece, "Souvenir de la plage" in a collective exhibition at the Openbach gallery in Vincennes, starting April 2nd.

The theme for the exhibit is the postcard size. I proposed this drawing from a recent trip to the Lofoten Island which I wanted to contrast with the idyllic visions of the beach usually portrayed by postcards.

I drew my own postcards to send to my friends 😊

I got a commission request for a pet portrait. I'm still waiting to see if that will go anywhere, but it made me dig up previous drawings I've made of dogs and now I feel like posting them.

I've been burnt out for over a month and I felt so tired I had no energy to draw. But yesterday I finally felt better and it was good to get the gouache out again.

Jazz night at my local bistro. I love to go there and draw the musicians and crowd as I listen to some jams.
