Sketch study for kitchen table painting
marker on bond paper
8 1/2 x 11 inches
I was scrolling through my blog and saw this, and thought, 'Aha! So that's how
I solve my current painting -- do a drawing of where I want to go.' It sounds
so simple, but sometimes I have complete clarity, until I don't. Tired,
busy, a lot going on -- I might come into my studio and go, "Wait a minute!
Now what?"
Solution -- plan. So I will. I love this simple drawing because it describes
certain times in our lives when the kitchen table is crammed with objects
that are significant to us. The big Victorian sugar bowl, the small glass
mini-candle holder, the bottom of a silver candlestick, and stems of flowers
in a glass vase. Plus a cream jug with pansies on top of a cookbook. Man
it's almost like the dance of the kitchen table.
Our kitchen table is the center of family life, so it does mean a lot to us.
Have a loving your life day!
