Portholes to my Youth moment creating the origins of lifeMixed media (acrylic, paper, and ink) 20" x 16" on paper This painting captures the autumn of my childhood. Memories of cooler temperatures, changing colors, and shortening days all rush back to me. There's a nostalgia for those foggy beach days with crisp winds and washed up seaweeda pang of sadness for the dropping leaves and impending winter weather. These circles are portholes to my youth and bittersweet remembrances of those long ago autumn days.
