Living life backwards,as I do, seems to suit me. Or rather life flows backwards and forwards and each time it gets better. I don’t fear it’s end just hope it continues as long as possible and am always in a hurry to do so many things before I go. Must have retired at least 4 times but now back teaching again to a lively Art Group every Wednesday who thirst for knowledge and stretch my knowledge, enthusiasm and inventiveness – lovely!
Alongside this the MA course is exciting and taxing my brain to the limits. I learn something new every week.
I’m looking at how I use drawing. The painting of a swimmer was ‘drawn out’ from memory of the experience of swimming and not from referring to an actual drawing. This is a method I’m exploring and the second painting is from the sensory experience of watching a ballet class. I’m hoping these two evoke far more than the visual image of what they seek to represent ???
