Kevin Lewis. April 26, 2020. San Francisco, California, USA.
Watercolor, ink, and pencil on paper.
This mixed media piece was done from a couple of photographs I'd taken during the "golden hour" a few days before. At the time, I'd been working on a series of small watercolors of "things with wings" so I incorporated not only images of myself but an interesting butterfly that I'd come across. The boots I'd seen abandoned two days before struck me as sad and odd and the "don't walk" hand met the general tenor of the moment. Together, this all seemed to sum up different facets of my mood on my 49th birthday while on lockdown.
