Coastal Light By Shawn K. Odneal

Coastal Light

Oil paint on canvasGrowing up on the Gulf Coast, I have always had a strong connection to ocean scenes. Because of this, I find that seascapes are very relaxing to me, which drew me to this piece by Bob Ross.

Identity Statement

I see myself as a very individualistic person. I march to my own drumbeat, which is guided by my strong values and can-do attitude. I am not sure how people view me, nor do I particularly worry about how I am viewed. I only hope that other view me as a person who is worthy of basic human respect and dignity.

What role does art play in your life?

To me, painting is therapeutic. When I paint, I am in a place that is peaceful and nothing else matters. When I was a kid, I used to be amazed watching Bob Ross paint, and still am to this day. It was his style and encouragement to everyone that got me started.
