“The Sun”

One of my first portraits that started the idea of Just Peachy was “The Sun” I painted it after writing about how it felt to leave winter behind. now, being July, winter is long behind us and far in the future. But I wrote this at a time when I could still feel winter in my bones and winter felt far stronger than any spring. Each year I relearn how powerful spring is, a rebirth.

I feel the sun on my skin
Like something holy
A cleansing of winters past
