Artist Statement: Jovi, Drawing & Painting
The title of my artwork is Jovi. Jovi was a dog brought into not only my life but my family due to my Dads job. We were able to connect with him so well. All just to have to let him go because my Dad had got offered a new job, without the K-9 Handler title. It was very hard to let him go but we were very lucky to have been able to call him ours, even for a short period of time. Losing him had a great impact on my dad and family. I created this piece of art to give us a memory of Jovi. We miss him very much.
I had used one tool to scratch off the outline and highlights of my art work. A scratcher that allowed me to make many different lines, thick and thin, straight and curved.
although the process wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I challenged myself to include as many details as possible. And that was my goal. I know I exceeded my expectations and gave my Dad another reason to smile.
