Beautiful.. I especially love the last one. And isn't it amazing that there are often seeds of one's later work in the very early stuff? I see your interest in lines in all of these.
These are so perfect, as are the young lives they depict. I especially love that the shadow in the last image anticipates the long, lean young man that this sweet little one will become.
well you know I think it is so important for us to look back and see where we have been so we know where we are going... the enthusiasm in this is what I feel... blissed out joy...
That must be what I am doing in 2015. So much reflecting going on. I made photo albums for the children for Christmas - am working on one of my dad's life when I visit him. All my journals being re-read and wrapped up. These early paintings. The archives of my career - I'm sorting those.
It's all one big art piece in some way, and I'm not going to question it too much.
I want to make honest art about the experience of being a mature female who has raised a big family. Because someone needs to.
And there is no where else where I can lay it all out.

ReplyDeleteLovely . . . or perhaps you can over-think things.
ReplyDeleteI can smell the water on the dry grass, the sea and sand . . . actually I can smell those things right here at the moment.
So beautiful. I have not yet begun to see that well.
ReplyDeleteAlive! So alive.
ReplyDeleteI was in my mid-thirties when I painted these.
ReplyDeleteThis post they are of my boy and his neighbour friend.

ReplyDeletewhat is not necessary to the picture is not there
ReplyDeletea kind of minimalism
I thank Matisse for showing me this
Like your journals now being tucked away for the generations that follow, these are treasure. You are blessed, Judy. Thank you for sharing.
