The Sally Project

I was a nineteen-year-old university student when I met Sally, a white-haired, bandana-wearing woman in her sixties. She was pursuing an MFA in painting. She was so exuberant about creating art that she inspired me to decide I would become an artist, too, once I came closer to retirement. Forty years later, it’s time. As I climb an intentional learning curve in art, I share these posts to keep myself accountable. May my efforts inspire others the way Sally inspired me.

Tulip Selfies

Tulip Selfies, 7" x 11' ink and watercolor

Legion Stonehenge Aqua w/c paper, 100% cotton hot press

I can't help it. They're like eating candy, these watercolor paintings with lines drawn by sticks dipped in ink. Will I ever get serious again? Do not know.

This one was inspired by the tulips I saw yesterday at the Filoli public garden in Woodside, CA. Previous owner Luline B. Roth arranged for the gardens to be preserved forever for the public in 1975.

I love her.
