Hi everyone!
Hope you’re all doing fine
Didn’t have much time to paint these weeks, I just kept gaining inspiration for next works... sometimes a photo, a song, a word, or a feeling and so on can suggest many ideas, innit?
Here there are three things I recently enjoyed:

A book:
The Lost Origin (o.v. El Origen Perdido by Matilde Asensi).
It’s an amazing historical/archaeological thriller, the plot turns around a quest of the perfect language aymara and the power of its words. A hacker with his friends and an archaeologist face many enigmatic mysteries to get the knowledge of the aymara secrets. The whole adventure lets you imagine beautiful places to paint, for example golden temples that fell lost in time, dark jungles with intricate paths or surreal cities created by an ancient civilization..


A song:
Bella’s Lullaby by Carter Burwell.
Yes, it’s a track from Twilight OST, I think it’s a beautiful sonata to listen to while painting. I always associate music to colors and this piece leads me to cold shades: forest green, aquamarine, crystal blue, lilac and indigo, silver and white..


Something scrummy:
Lol a yummy break when you need to pause after too many hours in front of your pc. I’ve tried this recipe and found it delicious!
Spread a thick coat of nutella chocolate on the inside of a coffee cup then fill in with moka coffee (= 50 ml, I didn’t try other kinds of coffee, maybe an espresso tastes good as well). I like it sweetened by 1/2 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of grappa -it's alcoholic, don’t put too much or it’ll cover other flavours- . Finally add cream on top and, if you want, scatter some cocoa or nut powder over it.
Tip: don’t sip it, use a teaspoon to drink it, picking up the chocolate!

Bye!
