You Taught Me To Live | (2014) 15" x 22"

  (2014) 15" x 22" Ink and watercolor and oil pastel illustration on cold press watercolor paper.. Float mounted in a custom cut bubinga frame set behind museum quality clear glass. Story My stepdad taught me to take educated risks, think outside of the box and to trust discomfort as I grow. This piece was in progress when he passed years ago, I found comfort in continuing to flesh out the deer's fir; my mother told me she was visited by a curious deer many times after his passing. This became a tribute and a thank you.     ____
