Solitary Strength (watercolor on
paper, 30x40)

I’m passionate about both
the composition and the
subject matter of Solitary
Strength. The focus of this
image is the tree, and
I spent the most time
creating its detail, using
household materials to
achieve the rough, wood-
like feel. The form and
angles of the tree, and the
placement of the leopard,
are what give this painting
its creative composition.

Not being able to see the boys’ full faces allows us to wonder what
they’re thinking. By showing one boy in profile and just the back of the
other one, I created a sense of internalization; nostalgia is augmented
by the use of a limited palette and the atmospheric background.
