An Old Tree Clinging to Life impressionism painting Painting

For the past decade I have engaged in extensive sketching and drawing as a personal endeavour, reading and studying prolifically from the masters of old. Submersing oneself into art silences the constant chatter of the mind, it allows you to enter a state of flow and being without any of the trappings or disturbances of modernity. As such, it is a necessity for myself personally, to make a meaningful connection with the physical world as perceived by the senses, as well as the internal.
