It's not a lie at all, it's the story YOU tell. Thank you for this very insightful post!

I love your process description of this "story" of Sunset at Deep Cove. You enrich my thoughts with your writings as well as your art. Larissa Russell from Creative Soul Podcast was asking for suggestions for people to interview. I have suggested you because I think you have amazing thoughts on expanding the roles of art and story telling. More people need to know about you.

I love this. I think we all fall into the trap of thinking we're not allowed to take our time.

It is not a lie, it is art. What you chose to see. Well done.

Agree! In an earlier draft of this post, I closed with two quotes worth thinking about:

The first, by Picasso - "Art is the lie that helps us see the truth."

The second, by Nietzsche - "We have art in order not to die of the truth."

Good quotes. Too much "truth" can be too much. 🤣

I can absolutely relate to that. And I'm so happy to hear this drawing reached someone who has spent time at Deep Cove. Thank you so much for sharing! ☺️
