Last year when I was working on the seasons greetings card for '26, I went back to an older drawing (2023) to practice my digital coloring skills, this is the result of that exercise.  The Conversation (in color),  digital drawing, 2023/2025.  Procreate on iPad.

    “A Gentle Greeting at Portal 5”  Digital pen drawing created with Procreate  Drawing time: 103 hours  Size: 47 × 77 cm    Looking back at the last few portal drawings, I noticed that most of the landscapes were rather desolate and sparse. For this one, I wanted a change — to fill the scene with plants and more life. `   This is already the thirteenth drawing in the series.  Portal Drawings  2025  5 — A Gentle Greeting at Portal 5  8 — The Weight of Balance  9 — Showing Respect to Time on Its Side  11 — Sunset Negotiations  13 — The Warning Sign  37 — A Severe Case of Pareidolia  2024  12 — The Crow  15 — Looking Over My Shoulder  19 — The Guard at Portal 19 (Is an Old Friend)  21 — The Citadel – Meeting a Fellow Traveller  24 — Near the Baobab  27 — The New Structure  31 — Difficult Exit – The Spider

    Portal 9 - Showing Respect to Time on Its Side Digital drawing with Procreate on the iPad.  Total drawing time: 103 hours  Strokes: 215065 Max.  print size: 80 x 50 cm    Thinking a lot of our perception of time while drawing this.  Time here does not flow as it should; it lies on its side, suspended, defiant, vulnerable. With hat in hand, the Traveller acknowledges what cannot be controlled — the stillness between past and future.    Our very conception of time is ancient: the Egyptians already divided the day into 24 hours, while the Babylonians gave us 60 minutes and 60 seconds. To stand before time, then, is to face thousands of years of human measure — and something far older, that no measure can contain.
