In 2019, to get back into drawing after a long hiatus, I set out to draw a mandala for each season.

Throughout 2020, I have been observing spiders in the orchard - both during the day and at night by black light. Recently, I have started to draw them.

In winter, 2021, I reread “The Brothers Karamazov” by Dostoyevsky. The picture below is my attempt to capture the themes of the novel as they struck me in particular.
