I finished my #drawing, on the last day of my holidays! It's the first time I've done such a large #watercolour (50cmx70cm). It's based on a picture I took of a lotus in a pond in a temple (萬福寺) near #Kyoto. #art #mastoartDetail of the lotus pond watercolour

And today's paintings. I have lots to learn about acrylic paint, but I like them.
Picture shows two paintings, done in a rough style,, both depicting women with their eyes closed, head tilted backwards, with religious attire. Colors are harsh and dark.

«There's a horrible conceit gaining ground that websites present someting called "content". I like to think of it as an amorphous, tofu-like substance. You cut it to whatever shape you want, and then pour some kind of syrup or gravy called "social" on top to give it flavor.» – Maciej Cegłowski

This is giving tofu a bad name! I was a vegetarian for 20 years. Tofu is great.
