Sometimes when I begin a painting I have a clear picture of how it is “supposed” to turn out. Honestly, very few have turned out the way I have envisioned and that is probably a good thing. Imagery and symbolism are important for me so I include them as often as I can in my paintings. Backyard party is a culmination of symbols from my childhood and found is more dream like symbols that kept popping up in my head. Enjoy~
