Woods and Trees on 35mm

From Morocco to Me

 This is an acrylic and india ink batik based on a photograph taken by one of my heroes.

When my Grandpa was in the Army he spent some time in Africa. 

He took many pictures, although I never saw any of them until after he had passed away.

One of my aunts, who is also a photographer and an artist, found the pictures and

then shared them with the rest of the family. 

It made me so happy to realize that I shared this passion for painting with light with him.

I do know that he loved the arts though because his home was decorated with paintings

done by my Grandma and my Aunt. 

Thank you Grandpa for nourishing creativity in my Aunt, and thank you Lauri for passing 

it on to me. 

Wind Rose

This was done in the dark while I watched a film with friends.

Because I couldn't see the colours, I had to rely on the labels on my prismacolors before I

put them down permanently on paper.

What is a Wind Rose?
