Za’s view

Meet Yer Za Vue – Za to her friends – another of the artists in the Paint the Peninsula competition who I met as she painted at Dungeness Recreation Area on Tuesday. Za lives and works in Portland, Oregon. In addition to her painting and illustration background she is also an animator and worked for Disney for over 10 years.

Here was Za’s canvas as she neared completion.

Za’s work reminded me of the liberty an artist has that a photographer doesn’t…unless, of course, we work obsessively in Photoshop. This was Za’s view. Her artistry included the area but overlooked the parking lot and cars that my camera recorded.
