Kayak Painting 1, PRICE TBD
I had to manifest, and create a lot of peace for myself during a very hard and uncertain year. When I get to see my parents- that often means kayaking, and when I’m alone it often means painting. This Kayak painting began as a way for me to just manifest some peace, but it did turn subtly allegorical for me as I worked on it. I grew up watching “Gilmore Girls” and in that show a kayak was referred to as a metaphor for independence (if one person rows alone in a canoe- it goes in circles, but one person can easily maneuver a kayak alone), and I always liked that. I also wanted to include the sense of simultaneous self reflection and interruption in the water. The water reflects a hopefully blue sky with perfect clouds, cut through by a ripple that can represent anything from a life event, to time itself.
