This painting depicts a moment when my older brother was having car issues. He called on me and my younger brother to help him out. This night time scene memory, depicts a moment of desperation. We successfully pushed his vehicle about 2-3 miles to the destination. This paintings shows the strength of brotherhood. This strength manifests as shared resilience and a collective ability to to overcome challenges.
