Art is about self expression

Dr. Nick


I am painting this brain for my brother in law. He is a new doctor in psychology working at the VA in Houston. On my trip to houston, I got a request for a painting for his office. He said brain and this is what I came up with. See if you can find the words in the lumps. I is currently in progress,, so stay tuned.

I painted this for a example for a project for my class. It ended up in Abby's room. It is stretched on a old shadow box which allowed me to paint the sides.
