Juried Show Winter 2012<br />
When you think of elegance, what kinds of subjects or objects come to your head first<br />
I think of elegant clothes and people first. Elegance is almost an attitude. The most beautiful,<br />
well dressed person, may not be elegant unless they have the right attitude.<br />
Do you most often paint from photographs, a mental picture, or real life<br />
I usually paint from one or more photographs. I do participate in a life drawing group on<br />
Fridays and, of course, we paint from life at that time. Occasionally, I will paint from a<br />
mental picture or just let the painting develop on it’s own.<br />
What do you do when you have a creative block<br />
I tend to create new surfaces to paint on when I have a creative block<br />
What painting of yours has the most meaning to you and why<br />
I have painted all my children and grandchildren. These paintings have the most meaning<br />
to me. I also like to paint people from trips I have taken and those paintings are close to my<br />
heart also.<br />
What is the most challenging part of your creative process from blank canvas to finished<br />
piece<br />
I have a hard time knowing when to quit. I can easily overwork a painting.<br />
What is on your easel right now<br />
I am working on a painting of two older people snoozing on a cruise.<br />
<strong>Art</strong>ist Bio:<br />
I grew up in Michigan and left to go to college and marry. After raising three children and<br />
moving around the country a bit, we settled in Lubbock, TX. After retiring from teaching<br />
“Computer Information Systems” in a Junior College, I pursued my lifelong interest in watercolor.<br />
