Instagram post 2341060702314094148_1406307350 Today's episode of Art History Study Time: Gratitude. ⁣ ⁣ This is a small gouache reproduction of Giotto's Jonah and the Whale, in my sketchbook. Perhaps the most striking feature of the painting is.... ⁣ ⁣ Jonah is being eaten by a fish, not a whale at all. ⁣ ⁣ While that may have been intentional, my imagination is that Giotto had never seen a whale. A fish may have been the closest he could do. ⁣ ⁣ I love this piece because it reminds me what an incredible time right now is to be an artist, with the entire internet of reference images at my fingertips. ⁣ ⁣ Yeah, we've done a lot wrong as modern humans. There are some really beautiful elements of progress though. May it remind us we're capable of growth and change!

I aim to use large-scale art to make it a teensy bit easier.⁣ ⁣ I choose to use my brushes as instruments of compassion and encouragement. I paint to affirm our self-care, including the courage to hold through uncomfortable awakenings and growth. ⁣ ⁣ My hope is that painted shapes and colors can in some small way help us see the beautiful imperfect humanity in ourselves, and the sweet strength in our togetherness. ⁣ ⁣ I wish you peace. I wish you happiness. I wish you knowledge of your immeasurable value and belonging. ⁣ ⁣ -𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘏𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘪⁣ ⁣
