What a blast to sketch with Urban Sketchers Prague at Na Krutci orchard. Bonus: free apples! Hard to believe this is within the city limits. #urbansketchersprague #urbansketchers

I can't give my mother a bouquet of lilacs this year, so I made this little painting instead. You just have to imagine that purple smell...

They look like people! But, unlike people, they stand still long enough to be drawn. Long live this little king and queen!

Meta is decomposing into a medium suitable only for growing mushrooms, so buh-bye Instagram. I call it #Zuxit. I hope more old friends will show up here!
