I recently helped my daughter, Lily, on an assignment for a drawing project at her art school. The assignment was somewhat vague, and far too wordy, for what I gathered to be the core message… “identify what you love, care about, or are interested in, and paint it”. It was based on the premise of “locate yourself”. To me, that meant “picture yourself where you’d like to be, and draw it.” My pieces start through observing a real place, and then modifying it to be a place I want to be. This latest piece is such a place: “Atlantic Sky” 48 x 48
