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.

Dragon Dance

From the Dragon Dance at the Alameda Farmers' Market on February 16, 2019. I waited two weeks to decide whether to add the black pen--I didn't feel the dragon was recognizable without it, though I'm sure not sure the lines help. I'm opposed to using black for definition, but one day I'll be able to represent something with just brushes and paint when I want to. (Kinda happy with the bystanders, though.)

It was rainy, cloudy, and wet that day...as it has continued to be since. I so appreciated the color in these costumes, and the work and creativity that so many people shared with us to celebrate the Chinese New Years, especially on such a gray day.
