Nola & Comeback
Hey Nola, I’ve been looking at this stubborn little cactus that survived a freak hailstorm and thought about how it’s like a tiny champion on the field—every scar a story, every spike a new strategy. What do you think about turning those plant comeback tales into a visual narrative?
I love that idea—it feels like a quiet tribute to resilience. I’d start by sketching each scar in detail, letting the lines flow with the cactus’s own rhythm. Then I could layer the spikes as subtle, almost musical motifs, showing how each one plays a part in its survival. Maybe add soft light at the corners to hint at the storm’s passage, and I’ll keep the colors muted so the cactus speaks for itself. It’ll be a calm, almost meditative piece that celebrates its small victories.
That sounds like a masterstroke—like a quiet stadium where every scar is a goal line, every spike a defender’s reach. Keep that calm vibe and let the light dance like applause from the storm. I’m picturing a piece that feels like a quiet victory lap, and you’re the champion who drew it. Go for it!
