''Melancholy'' by Akiane Painted under 100 minutes, 2016

Melancholy is one man’s nostalgic journey on the meadow. The man is of age, and he wants to leave something fragile and irreplacable for those he loves—his memories.
So he paints his past imprinted onto the canvas. He paints for the first time in his life, and maybe the last. However, his spirit will be forever remembered by those who will view his brushstrokes.

Welcome to my tea-room series inspired by fluctuating sounds of nature, different aromas of teas, unique movements and changing moods.
I would compare my morning painting time to an intense marathon—it takes me anywhere from one to seven months to complete a piece of art.
My afternoon color sketching, in contrast, is my sprinting.
Please, join me for my tea break moodscapes when I sketch an impromptu painting in a few brushtrokes. Under one hundred minutes, to be exact. My brushstrokes are light, and my palette is simple. I do not repaint, nor do I paint over. If I do fix any errors, they are minimal, because I sketch for fun and rejuvenation.
