Under the Sun

This acrylic painting portrays some of the healthy and eco-friendly activities that citizens can indulge in outdoors. Whether it’s through running, biking, or walking, anyone can enjoy exercise outside on hiking trails, bike paths, and dog-friendly parks. In addition, citizens can also watch colorful sunsets and sunrises in the sky, as well as partake in family-friendly projects like gardening. Especially with the pandemic forcing most indoors, I wanted to promote ways to pursue a healthy and sustainable lifestyle outdoors.
