I felt inspired by a few things for this painting: a favorite photo of mine, my old stomping grounds, a new set of acrylics and a 4×4 400 series Strathmore pad of paper…and this poignant quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes:
“I find the greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving–we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”
