About this work

This image shows a soft pink sky filled with a loose cluster of glowing dots. The dots look like floating bubbles or light, spread unevenly near the top. Below them, faint white lines stretch across the empty space, like faint trails or cracks in the air. The title at the bottom reads *"Fly California Drapes,"* but this isn’t a painting—it’s one of a small set of printed artworks made by hand. The text mentions it was part of a special project with other artists. If you like this, check out lithography to see how artists print images like this.
