Where does the time go? Birthdays and Mother's Day have been celebrated, visits with family and social gatherings have taken place, the basement has been re-organized, closets have been cleaned and the cottage has been opened. And yes, coffee and wine and good food, has been consumed, and life has been contemplated. In my spring cleaning I came across this mixed media work (watercolour, acrylic, pastel and collage papers )I did several years ago, which I always really liked. Perhaps it's the figure's pose that I am drawn to - one that reflects a contemplative state of mind.
So I have been busy - but not with painting - but that is about to change. On Friday I will be on a flight bound for Paris and then Marseille, and later that weekend will arrive at Les Bassacs, a hamlet in the Luberon Valley, in Provence. I attended a plein air painting course there at Arts in Provence in June of 2012, and this time I will be doing a one week program called 'Abstracting from the Landscape' in which "experimentation and innovation will be key".
Of course I still have a list of many things to do before Friday.....but I am hoping to prime the artistic pump a bit, before I leave, and play with my watercolours as they and gouache will be the main materials I will be using en Provence. So no excuses now for artistic inertia!
