I am scanning these photos that I found as I was cleaning out a closet. Amazing the photos that I thought were lost are actually here. Please forgive the quality of this photo.
Don't you love finding these little treasures! And how do you feel about the painting after not seeing it for so long? I always find that I like them much better. I don't know if it's because the struggles going through the drawing are carried on as a reminder every time I see it. But put it away for a year or more and you now see it with fresh eyes and disconnected to the feelings (or maybe the criticism...? We are always analyzing "what can we do to make it better") Anyways, all that aside, I love your drawings Jeanne! I wish I found that in my closet!!!
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I went to college when I was 37 years old. I loved it so much, I was a sponge and absorbed anything and everything about art. I started out wanting to be a portrait artist but ended up using pencil and colored pencils. I made quite a name for myself with my drawings. I won many awards. When I needed a break from that I went into oil sticks and just loved them and again did very well with awards. I finally went back to my oils but always felt frustrated with them I wanted to be free from all constraints, I am now working in acrylics and loving them. So now the sky is the limit. I just want to go and do everything I feel and want to express.
