This abstract started out in a one day workshop, with clear directions from the teaching artist on how to start, and then, to take off in any direction we chose. As I sketched and then painted from my inspiration source, I began to remember all those luscious days when all I had to do was read.
"The Library"
9" x 12" Watercolor on Arches 140 lb.
I loved to read, and I remember the library, and the sense of wonderment I felt there...all those books, from story books in grade school, to tales of mysterious packages arriving at Nancy Drew's house in jr. high, and later, tropical places, palm trees, windswept beaches, exotic ladies in vibrant clothes, dancing to music I could almost hear....Biographies of people, ordinary and important, doing things I dreamed about. My painting began to reflect my thoughts.
This was really a memorable experience, Thank you to Judy for leading the way
Cindy
