Oil on Canvas
24 x 36 inches
This is the second piece created based on the song it is named after. I chose to paint the view out the passenger side window with the mirror being different than the outside to depict a location change. Out the window, the car is going over a bridge to the beach that has always felt safe to me during sunset, but it is painted in a cooler color palette. While it still is where I feel the most at home and protected, while away at undergrad, that place became a person. Whenever everything got to feel suffocating, they were the one person who was able to calm me down, just like the beach does while I’m back home on Long Island. The mirror depicts mountains and a lake that can be found near Alfred, New York, through a warmer color palette to show the warmth and safety felt by this person
