In 2014 some neighbors we met from down the street came by my house and said they saw me painting in the garage. They wanted to commission me to paint several small paintings for them. His wife was from Peru and wanted some mementoes of Peruvian art. They gave me some pictures they wanted painted and I said I would try. After a couple of weeks, I had them done. They were pleased and I was happy to get a paid painting job. I don’t remember all the names of the objects. Perhaps you might know. One was a famous beach and another was a famous canyon, as deep or deeper than the Grand Canyon.

Such amazing work and the detail in those paintings, oh my word, that last one especially is stunning. It must have been challenging for sure, and you never know what can happen when you push out of your comfort zone. Eob2 is right about that, it’s how we grow.
Beautiful paintings and words. โค
