The fork in the road.
Here I am again, I’ve been traveling down this road for so long now, and once again another fork in the road.

Wherever you started is immaterial, but where you want to go is all … Read More Bloom where you are planted.

I painted this portrait of him in my quest to create portraits of people who have motivated me to move out of my stagnancy into striving towards my passions. Why did I paint it like this? … Read More Cultivate your inner genius!
