Project Statement: This is a stippling made with marker pen on watercolor paper (11in x 15in). This is the second part of the series. In the foreground the piece shows 4 jockeys on their horses in a race all masked with goggles. The background is filled with dust/smoke creating a fog, in the fog theirs a clock with and eye watching from a distance and above the clock read "Where you are is where you're at". This piece is about finding happiness in your own journey, and not comparing or trying to rush your life. Everything's happening perfectly.
