The past few years, I’ve really been getting into gardening and it seems I’ve gone off the deep end of this year 🤣 there’s no turning back now. 560 seedlings so far! Still working on my setup but so far so good.

This painting draws inspiration from the profound connection between writers Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin. It reflects their passionate love for one another, their deep devotion to the art of writing, and the unwavering loyalty they showed to each other's work
