I found this photo online by Anthony John Colleti of housing in El Alto, Bolivia and loved it. I did a watercolour version of it last year for my Artathon, and also now this larger acrylic version:
Pen and Ink: New York Reflections

Another Ixelles from above
We're starting to get some of those really clear crisp winter days here in Brussels which is making me really appreciate and feel inspired by the area that I live in of the city. This is an acrylic version of my Ixelles Ponds postcard:
