I challenged myself to create 10 floral artworks last year, and I started with acrylic and watercolor paintings. Midway through my semester, my academic requirements became too much for me to create an artwork every week.

This January, while writing my thesis proposal and preparing for the next semester, I managed to finish that challenge. It’s always better to be late that to abandon a passion project. I’m also glad that I did wait. I discovered the calming effect of drawing using only lines and points.

Each drawing took a while to finish, but I didn’t mind. On some weeks, these drawings were the only things that kept me sane.
