Here is the latest painting in my Chaekgeori-inspired series. Nearly everyone tends to put souvenirs and things we pick up when travelling on their bookshelves. When I paint one of these, I usually spot a travel guide on the shelves too. But with this painting, it is all travel. The books and things belong to a couple in Milan that has dedicated a whole corner of their adventures. The travel guides, custom photo album, the model of the iconic VW van — it is all there. Does anyone who travels not have at least one piece of driftwood on their shelves? A piece of wood that has already been on its own journey before you find it and bring it home. That might be the best souvenir one could have. The only thing missing from these shelves is a California travel guide. But one day, hopefully soon, we might start wandering our planet again.
