I'm a painter from the beautiful West Indies. I love colors and textures. I started painting at age 4 and have kept doing it everyday.

Clean your brushes

Every few years, I always say clean your brushes. I spent years without cleaning my brushes sometimes, and some my favorite brushes are no more. It broke my heart, but I did it to myself and so get some brush soap clean your brushes you’ll be happier.

I have a few I need to clean always.

I remember this timeline. 😂 it feels like such a long time ago since I was making art like this. Feels nice to run my fingers through it.
