In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

Art of the Week! In which we talk about Expectations!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you and good Afternoon! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope all is well! How is the weather where you are? I hope things are fresh and soft, as here the sun is cooking everything it can touches! I'm having to be careful not to struggle too much indeed. Wish the weather could be fresher, like the painting I'm about to share, that sounds filled with longing and desire, here we have Expectations by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadelma.



I saw this painting and thought it could be a really good one to share, as I love it so much, by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the level of details is insane, as you can feel the wind on her hair, the coldness of the sea and of the stone. The girl here, sitting in the marble sofa, waits for her love, that comes from the ocean, flowers come to comfort her, even if she’s full of hope. Sounds like a wonderful place to wait for your loved one indeed. On this scenario fit for Rome or Carthage. It's also amazing how her dress fits the landscape and the sofa, complimenting it. I shared it on my Instagram a while ago with a caption similar to this one, but I made some changes here so I could share it on the blog. I hope the wind is fresh for her, and I hope her loved one may come, and the sun is gentle also.
There's a lot I want to do today, make some drawings, writing on the blog, I havent drawn properly for a while now, and this sucks, hopefully that will change soon when I'll make new drawings that I'll be satisfied about, it is a process indeed... I also want to enjoy my new laptop though, so is the struggle to keep everything balanced!
Well, this is it for today, just this painting by this amazing artist! Wish you the best dear reader, and you are the best! See you again next time, have an excellent weekend.
