2020 - This year has been a year of cancellations, of not being able to leave our homes and feeling of failures. Art galleries and art schools closed. However, I've been very productive at home, as I turned my home into a studio twice a week and have been putting out a good lot of paintings this year. So far, I've completed 4 great paintings, and there's more to come before the year's out. Next year is going to be better!
