I painted this horse head and sun on a wall in an art gallery that was being demolished. The Cedar Community Art Center in Lancaster, California provided space for artists to display their work with little to no restrictions.
I could paint whatever I desired so I painted a horse’s head using non traditional colors and only using my finger tips. I played with techniques and what I could do with my eyes close.
I took a photograph to preserve what once was an image but no longer available … sounds like my past.
