I know this should be about your tea cup watercolors but....I'm in love with the cabinet and hardware that it is hanging from! I'm assuming it's in your home?!? Is it a hutch...kitchen cupboards...??? Inquiring minds want to Know...at least this one!
i have recently been completely seduced with painting. it seems my whole life i have made my way through art...but it has been the type of process that demands the highest craftsmanship and precision. giant stained glass windows...mosaic murals..
and yet, i look at paintings.. sumptuous lines and i see such emotion and life. coming from a background of painstaking process...i have stood on the sidelines...viewing painting as foreign...outside my comprehension.
finally...i realized one of my trepidations was the value of canvas, clayboards...the pure empty white....which all appears to deserve knowing hands.
so i asked myself...what if? what if i cut open large brown paper bags? what if i round up my now grown son's childhood paintbrushes. what if i just BEGIN. so i have. one line at a time. just black and white on grocery bags.
i have found heaven! freedom...and supreme pleasure.
thank you for inspiring me...by the work of your hands. and here too from jean and so many countless others.
