I’m going to share some of my art in the next several posts. This first piece is a drawing of an event I spent years preparing for — the so-called Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017. I’m sure many of you shared this experience. For me, it was one of the great moments of my life. It was raining up until minutes before the eclipse, and then Nature decided it would allow us a viewing, if only through cloud cover.
I took photographs of the eclipse too, but this sketch feels more real and personal than any of those images.
