Perhaps that's the "essence" that Miss Tia
referred to. When I feel a distance to the subject matter, and then try to force myself into the work, I end up drained afterwards. When I feel a connection though, it's a joy. So it's my pleasure to share the sketches here, and I also feel a lot less weird that I'm not the only one who likes them!
