I’ve been sick AND busy, and this is about the extent of my experimenting with recipes! I made this in my Vitamix: One whole orange and one whole lemon. You can add honey or sugar for sweetness, but I like it tart and left it out. I had such a sore throat and was congested, and this really hit the spot — kind of like an epic Vitamin C kick in the pants.
Then I decided to paint it:
Recently, I’ve begun painting every day in my Moleskin sketchbook as a daily routine. At first it was really hard, and I felt super self conscious about what I was painting, but I’ve finally found a certain level of comfort with it. I don’t really care how they will turn out — it’s the process that counts — or rather, the practice– a kind of meditation. Sometimes I am so tired and exhausted at the end of the day, especially when I was really sick, I only spend ten to fifteen minutes on them!

To see my daily sketch paintings in the future — I plan to do continue to do one every day — right now they have been focussed on street life in Brooklyn — follow me on Instagram! :)
