Description
The story behind this painting is a bit involved. I received an email from a visitor to my web site commenting on my "image within an image" style paintings and wanted to know if I knew of any teachers in "SA" who taught that style. It took me a while to realize "SA" was South Africa and not some forgotten state in the US. I wrote back thanking her for her kind comments and told her I didn't know anyone in South Africa period. I offered to help guide her if she was interested in doing one herself. She responded very enthusiastically wanting to know when we could get started. I realized at that point that I had no idea how I was going to teach her to paint via email. But I soon came up with a plan and we began a three month correspondence. I photographed every step of the painting and wrote out detail instructions once a week and sent them to her. She'd study the images and instructions then paint her painting on the weekend. Sending me photos of her progress. We became friends as each week went by. Sharing pictures of our families and discovering how similar we were in many ways.
NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
