Capturing the Beauty of Nature: Milkweed in the Morning


I’ve tried to captured the essence of a milkweed plant basking in the morning light. The delicate strokes and intricate details, brought to life with Procreate, ink, and watercolor, showcase the artist’s impeccable talent.

This peaceful sight serves as a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us, even in the simplest things. The vibrant hues of green and the fluttering petals of the milkweed add a touch of elegance to this artwork. It’s a testament to the artist’s ability to encapsulate the intricate patterns found in nature.

The milkweed, known for its enchanting fragrance and significance in ecology, takes center stage as the subject of this artistic creation. Its flawless portrayal reminds us to appreciate the splendor of the natural world around us and to find inspiration in even the smallest of things.

As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a moment of tranquility and introspection. It serves as a gentle reminder to pause, to admire, and to connect with the wonders of nature. These fleeting moments, carefully captured by the artist, invite us to slow down and appreciate the present.

Join us in marveling at the beauty portrayed in this striking artwork. It prompts us to embrace the creative process and encourages us to seek inspiration from the world around us. Let this poignant depiction of milkweed serve as a reminder of the profound connection we share with nature and the endless possibilities that lie within artistic expression.

Learning to Draw on iPad

Learning to draw on iPad feels like borrowing a little quiet from the day. The tools are digital, but the habit is old: sit down, look closely, try a line, try again.

The image shows a person curled into a couch with an iPad, focused on an open canvas—small, intent, private. It has that soft, end-of-afternoon mood where nothing needs to happen except the next stroke. You can almost hear the room settling.

With the iPad, practice becomes gentler. Mistakes don’t leave a smudge on the page; they disappear with a tap. That can make you brave. You test shapes, adjust the brush, nudge the line until it begins to match what you meant. And slowly, the screen stops feeling like a device and starts feeling like a sketchbook you can carry anywhere.

If you’re learning, keep the sessions short and honest. Draw what’s near you. Repeat the same subject on different days. Notice how your hand changes when you’re tired, or when you’re calm. The point isn’t to make a perfect drawing—it’s to return, and let your eyes get better at seeing.

Over time, the iPad doesn’t replace the feeling of drawing. It simply gives you another doorway into it.

Remember Weekend Brunch

Remember Weekend Brunch

The best part of brunch was the 10 second sketch. For all the allure of unlimited Brunch drinks of Cameo (formerly the Lovin Cup), the meal was sub-par at best and the drinks were of equal caliber.
