Under the Light

Under the Lights
Jan Sorenson

When antique cars converge on downtown Springfield, you'll find me there. It's great to see owners socialize with other antique car aficionados. The reflections dancing off the highly polished paint excite me. The colors of the two cars in my painting were poured to create a highly reflective light.

I grew up downstate IL, the fourth child of nine. My dad worked a lifetime at the local brewery. He invented and built most anything he needed. Mom supplemented their income by baking creative cakes, pies and cookies. Their love for each other and cohesive joviality was certainly an inspiration, as every problem could be solved with creativity. What a gift to inherit! I love challenging myself with new and exciting adventures. Watercolor painting gives me an outlet to express any subject matter with an infinite variety of techniques.
