Wings

In the process of going through my old artwork to include on this website, I came across a series of three paintings I had done way back in grade 10 or so, that I hadn’t realized at the time went quite well together.

Once I finally saw all three side-by-side I was struck with the idea that together, they could create something more meaningful than the sum of its parts. A little bit of digital photo-editing later, and the three paintings merged to become something of a panoramic storyline, which I like to call “Wings”.

I remember the first time I came across the word “serendipity” was during one of my art reviews for that class, as my teacher, Ms. Miller, was describing some good artistic choices I hadn’t realized I’d made for some other project. It’s interesting how nine or so years later that same word comes back along with the memory of creating these paintings for the first time.
