First Day, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Carey Parks depicts three kids standing outside a suburban neighborhood. She uses an old family photo to capture the essence of moments long ago—of herself, her brother, and a friend. "A photo taken on the first day of school is universal," says Carey.
