When I was a kid, I liked math and art. (I still do.) The adults told me that I should be an architect. Instead I became a math teacher who makes art with all of my free time. I’m pretty sure if I had become an architect, all the buildings I would have designed would have been crooked.

This is my first #painting with reflected pink light. That’s what helps make the buildings look 3D.

Gouache painting of the Amalfi Coast. It’s a city with buildings and trees on the water with a steep cliff and roads that wind down to the water. Mountains in the background. The style is cartoonish and folk art but still with a sense of depth and perspective. The night sky is reminiscent of Van Gogh’s starry night with many circular blobs of light.
