HAIKU CORNER
RainGloomy afternoon
Sound of frogs coming closer
Watching the slow drops
BirdsCommon visitors
Bushes always moves with them
Winter to summer
HummingbirdWaking up slowly
As the puffy hair comes down
Ready for flying
BugsEyes in the garden
Watching their faces moving
Hiding in plain sight
HydrengeasOtherwordly leaf
Wandering in the garden
She is with the wind
QuestionI am just thinking
If there is 150 years to live
How would I spend it?
Shapes of LeavesFaces in the tree
Every once in a while
What are they saying?
Night LightSurprising light calls
Run to the backyard to greet
Waxing crescent moon
Dosing OffTangled state of mind
Illusion of competence
I just want to sleep
An Afternoon in SummerCharming Jasmine calls
The humming of bee comforts
And a cup of tea
An Afternoon in SummerCharming Jasmine calls
The humming of bee comforts

6AMA new beginning
Leading to the magic lights
Waiting to catch it
MorningMy usual spot
Under the oleander
Air balloons rising
Palm TreesCool perennials
Long necks reaching the blue sky
Star for all seasons
Cloud ShapeWalking with his stick
Far away from where he goes
Giant's thoughts drifting
A spring dayMany things to see
All over in the garden
Where was I before?
Before SleepImagination
Went into the quantum realm
It is quite silent
Mr. JmanReady to go out
Waiting like an innocent
Yep, lord of the punks
Pink PlantSuch mini flowers
Stealing my heart when blooming
Again and again
Summer NightHow things change in time
Cotton clouds are in a rush
Moon is rising now
Clouds CrushingGloomy afternoon
Sound of frogs coming closer
Watching the slow rain
A New DayBounced back from sickness
Grateful to have mom at home
Ready for coffee
Blue HourMysterious lights
Nature reveals over time
As the sun goes down
End of the DayBlessed with the lights
When afternoon comes softly
Small bird flies ghostly
Under full sunStone crop is waking
Just another glowy plant
In black and white
AllergiesNature came to kiss
Earlier than usual
Let the sneeze fete start
2024 CA FiresGray smoke drifting
Air quality is balanced
It will change again
JordanSnoring heavily
Stretching his feets next to me
Cozy in dreaming
AfternoonWhimsical shadows
Coming slowly to garden
It's never the same
Sitting In GardenFeeling the soft wind
As the hummingbirds drinking
Cold brew that I made
JmanShort legged white punk
Sleeps anywhere he can find
Sets all his fur free
DaisiesIn the afternoon
Showing up in a small patch
Glowing peacefully
In the ShadeFlowers waking up
Inside the blackberry bush
Surely full of life
SnailsTravelers greeting
Resting on the garden hose
Long way to go home
HummingbirdsJewels of the sky
Visiting me in the shade
They drink more than me
ART RELATED ENTRIES

+ OVERCOMING ART BLOCK / 5 May, 2026Ok, first of all, I try to see all the failures and negativity in my life as feedback. That makes me think, “What can I do about it?” Since art block visits me quite often, I came up with a written manifestation and a bunch of art exercises that have nothing to do with art fundamentals or studies =D Because that’s not fun. So the list consists of my interests and art mediums I like. Here it is, and by the way, it’s an ever-growing list! 🎨🪴

+ ART ADVICES THAT WORKS / 1st May, 2026- Find your why. Dig about what tickles you, what you like. Set your goals. Create a daily routine for art time.
- Use simple and cheap materials at first. Allow yourself to fail. Always use reference photos.
- Track your progress and reflect on it. Create a sketch kit that goes everywhere with you.
- Observe, observe, observe.I might update this in time =F
+ WHAT ARE THE ART STUDIES AND HOW TO APPROACH ART AS A BEGINNER ARTIST? / 20 April, 2026There’s a helpful video I still use from time to time: Devin Elle Kurtz’s “You Can Draw Anything” (YouTube).Reflecting on why you want to make art and finding a strong motivation matters in the long-term. Is it self-expression? Learning to draw to impress others? Recording memories? Desire to become an artist?Shift your mindset to treat art as a journey, not an instant result. Lowering unrealistic expectations helps reduce frustration.You don’t need expensive materials. Stay open-minded, experiment, and make it fun. To beat the fear of a blank page, use iterations. Choose one subject and draw several variations. Ask questions like “What happens if I draw it this way?” or “What if I change this shape?”Keep an exploratory mindset even for “bad” results because they become a valuable feedback.To reduce pressure, don’t share your work right away, or share only with a community that offers constructive feedback from a similar or higher skill level.Analyze artists you love. Try slow looking.
