Summer Bridge By Shawn K. Odneal
Summer Bridge
Oil paint on canvas
This piece reminds me of the old country roads in East Texas where most of my family lives. We used to go visit my grandparents and great-grandparents that lived there as well as attend our family reunions.

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.
