In Which we remember the vibrant little golden epoch of New York

Good evening, sir friend, reader of this present post! How are you, this day of switching of seasons? I am okay. The month is moving fast I'd say. Last Friday we had the rememberance day for the horrendous attack of 9/11, on the World Trade Center Complex, and I also did mourn the horrendous destruction of the twin buddhas by the islamic jihadis. Such a  year of tragedies, 2001. I was around 3, and I can only remember shadows from that time, it is very flickering, but I recall the tv news and my parents having breakfast. Wrote about it on Instagram, about the loss of that beautiful monument, that in a relatively short time, as with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, went from disliked to beloved. A worthy, earnt landmark to New York's renaissance epoch, and the upcoming little and vibrant golden age of that city on the 90's, and that would last some years after the fateful event. All I can say is to remember the victims, and do not let the memory of the little golden epoch of New Y...

Sketch of the week! In which we talk about the trees with snow!

Hello to you! Happy December and Christmas season! And also good evening and welcome to the post of today! Lovely to see you, dear reader, and amazing to be here, writing this post! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope everything is really fine! As for me, I'm happy to be here! Classes are soon coming to a close and I'm so happy it is Christmas time! I can feel the healing effects of Christmas season well, and they're amazing. It's been too hot here lately thoughm what a dry year, what a really strong summer! Really, this makes me dream of Snow and winter way more than I should, specially because I say I love cold all the time, but I'm wearing my sweater when it's like 22 Celsius, that's the curse of living in a tropical place, you cannot stand the heat, but you die on the cold as well. Lovely month of December, so many colors and decoration, truly splendid!
Today is sketch of the week day, yahoo! And I made a really experimental sketch recently, I wanted to make it snow on my imaginary forests, I wanted to make trees covered by snow, it was really hard, but I plan on doing a lot more snowy sketches for this christmas season! Anyway, for today, the experimental trees with snow is what I have to show to you, lovely people!


So this is my very experimental Christmas trees, covered with lots of snow, in a very snowy place, where the ground is frozen and the wind blows strong and really cold. It is not fall season anymore, we're definitely on Winter! I mostly decided to mix Green, Gray and some shade of blue together in this different sketch for me, and maybe a prologue for more weather and snow in the future. One of the trees got a bit messed up, but not all the trees have to be standard right? In nature, things are not perfect, this is definitely the case for this small tree. I'm using a different kind of paper as well!
Just another homage to my favorite season! And I also made some imaginative red details on the trees, I thought it would go well with everything! Maybe it's so hot in here this time of the year, it makes you dream about snow indeed, you can't even wear socks anymore because it's too hot! In comparison, I miss the winter of this year, though it was a very dry one... Well, anyway, it's lovely one way or another!
So, this small sketch is what I have to offer to you today, on this really hot December night! Hope you're really having a good day and things are amazing for you. Thank you so much for reading this, you're the very best, and I see you guys on the next post! Yay!!
