"Just Lookin' Out of the Window" is a painting about bonding, surprisingly. It depicts the feeling many get when watching television with older family and friends, whether parents or grandparents. In my family, older shows like Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Sanford and Son get played often. My siblings and I have seen those shows so many times we can quote them on the spot, and know what the episode is about as soon as we see the first scene. We are often bored and longing to watch literally anything else. It wasn't until I followed an Instagram account, @embracingblackculture, that I realized this was a universal experience. It wasn't just my family. On social media, we have lively conversations about our families, the shows we watch, and how we can never get away from watching these shows. This painting was made possible by the SC Emerging Artist Grant funded by the SC Arts Commission.
