A Trek in Sa Pa

Jessica Trac, 2T3 MAM

Artist statement:

My favourite painting to date. When I look at it, I’m taken back to my time on the rainy mountains. It was August in Vietnam. We trekked for two days in the pouring rain and heat. My friend and I were accompanied by locals, like the two young girls painted in their blue ponchos, other travellers, and leeches that made their way up our shoes and ankles from the wet grounds. An experience I never want to go through again, but a memory I wanted to keep forever with this painting. 

The painting was done on an 8.5x10 inch masonite board with acrylics. You can find my other works on instagram @artbyjessicatrac. My current focus has been travel paintings, as a way of coping with this pandemic.
