...and some more of my art
on pages 20-24
of Jennifer Lawson's little Maruman sketchbook entitled
"Transitions."
on pages 20-24
of Jennifer Lawson's little Maruman sketchbook entitled
"Transitions."
My art begins the first four pages
of the "backside " of the sketchbook...
and ends where the bougainvillea vines blend
with Jennifers wild roses.
I chose to include a postcard here because
it was through an international postcard exchange
with Anita Davies
where I started, with baby steps, on the path to "blogdom"...
...and now, just a short while later,
I am here exchanging Maruman sketchbooks with fellow artists!
That is a transition which still takes my breath away.
I chose the Monument Valley region to be on the postcard
not only because
of its "wild west" beauty and universal appeal,
but also because
of its unique location in both Utah and Arizona...
a space transition of monumental proportions to be sure! :)
If you look carefully you will see thatthe cactus was painted in various stages of bloom...
The quote:
"Change is the only constant." ~Ghandi
is one of my most favorite...
and has especially helped me bear through many a bump in many a road.
The vines stemming from the bougainvillea branches
are from my imagination...actual "Bougies" don't have them...
Through bits of calligraphy I attempted to illustrate
how transition in its various forms
can be growth...a new beginning
for each of us.
This theme was an interesting challenge...
it went beyond visual pen marks,
and brush stokes,
and choices of color...
into a unique artistic space for me...
and a inspirational transition for sure!
The last full reveal of my work in "Transitions"
will be in tomorrow's post...
Hope you will stop back by for a visit! :)
