My litmus test for sharing stuff like this is to ask, Do I completely hate this? Often the answer is Yes, and I quit–painting is for suckers.
But sometimes the answer is no.
So, here’s stuff I don’t completely hate.
Worst-case would be that you don’t hate it either. Best case would be that some makes you feel good.
Love, Aaron
P.S. These are all roughly 3 x 5 inches, from a little sketchbook I carry around in my backpack. I’ve written about why I started painting here.
