Day 115 - Happy birthday America! Jay painted this sundae to celebrate how sweet life is with all the delicious flavors coming together as long as there's no nuts on top.

From exhibition America Disrupted, featuring a series of watercolors painted during the Covid-19 quarantine. At once a record of the artist’s emotional response to our current era, it is also a time Jay Samit found himself conflicted about his nation’s history. Part therapeutic, part social commentary, Samit’s palette reveals the fissures in American society further exposed by this unsettling period.
