I painted this canvas after reading Jack Kerouac’s book “On the Road.” As I was growing up, my family moved all over the country. It was difficult making the adjustments to three different schools in one year, but I got to experience different regions of our country. What I discovered from that experience was that most people are accepting and friendly. We are similar yet what is acceptable in one part of this country was totally alien in another. I met people that had never been more than a hundred miles from where they were born.
