GARRETT (DAD)

This piece was fun as my dad started with the only thing he could draw, a dog. I tried to adapt it, but he had me change the dog back by covering what I did. We also decided that the background would be a section of the Pecos River. A river that we love and spend time at. He also enjoyed pastels and the transparency on the page, so we tried to implement that in the sky. This piece also led to my dad drawing another dog that he showed me independently. It brings me a lot of joy as he said what makes his art special is the rarity, as he may only have three completed pieces from his adult life, two of which stem from our project.
