This weeks challenge at Inspire Me Thursday was to create a piece of abstract art. I'm a huge fan of Paul Klee so this was a great chance to pay homage to his amazing art.
Check out my super talented artist friend's blog to see some incredible pieces of abstract art at Raptógrafo, he's just awesome! This one's one of my favorite pieces:

Inspire Me Thursday: FARAWAY LANDS
Ink and watercolor on paper
This weeks challenge at Inspire Me Thursday was to close our eyes and go off to a faraway place...so I traveled to Valparaiso, Chile. I have the fondest memories of that beautiful city by the sea... where I studied architecture for a few years and made friends I cherish till this day. It's been almost twenty years since then...time has wings.
