I say endurance for this piece because it felt like such a breakthrough moment. I’ve loved drawing horses since I was a child and I would try and try, but could not get through the frustrations. But keeping at it, and not giving up has shown me what I can do and I can only hope to keep learning to better my work. 

Endurance 

This painting is very special to me. It’s a rendition of my grandmother’s painting of a Navajo man that started her art journey many years ago. It was the first painting she entered into a juried show. Because they did not like the shadow elements, she received quite negative feedback and almost quit pain altogether. She pushed through though and has been such a huge influence in my art journey.

Navajo Elder

Elephants are extremely intelligent and remember things for years. I hoped to capture the expression of aged remembrance through his eye.
