One of my larger works at my studio at Greenleaf Art Center. A peaceful seascape capturing the motion of waves rolling toward the shore. Soft blues, sea-greens, and flowing brushstrokes give the water a sense of movement, while distant misty mountains and a cloudy sky create a calm, reflective mood.

What a memory. When the Pandemic first hit, we did not think we'd survive through it in the first 6 months. Then came the first ever introduction on Ube, Filipino and Japanese pastries, and the Artists of Evanston Made and that community carried the shop through it all, up 'til the very end.
Thank you, DJ for this amazing video.
Please wear a face covering. Practice social distancing. We're in this together and we'll get through it together.coffeelabevanston.comBloghttps://djdelara.w...
