I didn't photograph the first two dishes, but got all after that.

The first place, La Chingada, had great tacos.

A Krita illustration inspired by ancient Greek pottery, made for the @artsallianceofstfd.bsky.social December art challenge with the theme "Spirits."

The Greek Goddess, Muse, bestows the spirit of inspiration through the sacred lightbulb.

#krita #digitalart #ancientgreece #muse #blueskyart #art
The Greek Goddess Muse bestows inspiration on a man who is in a celebratory gesture. He smiles, and both hands are raised. The inspiration is depicted through a lightbulb above his head. Behind the man are two male figures representing himself before receiving inspiration, whose gestures express sadness.
