Artwork: Stringing the Lights

Stringing the Lights

1996
Clayboard
8" x 6"

In 1996 I made a few changes. Those changes included 1) switching my medium to clayboard 2) changing the card's orientation to horizontal and 3) drawing an actual person instead of a fictional character. The person is my daughter Rachel, who was about 10 months old.

And I also included our new dog, Loki.

This was the first of many times that a child of mine would appear in one of my works of art.
