December 2021. Watercolor on watercolor paper. 9"x10"
This piece brings up sentimentality in me as it captures the warmth of the holidays. Taking as inspiration a photo that my father took of my mother and me on the Brooklyn Bridge,I wanted to capture the cold weather, the sometimes awkward embrace of family and the tradition of a holiday in New York City. The monochromatic watercolor evokes for me the nostalgia for childhood memories — of family, holidays, and travel.
