Based on a local scene, down by the waterfront...
Taking liberties, playing with color more than
making an accurate representation...
The show is up at the Library.
"Not Far From Home: From the sketchbooks of Rita..."
I am adding more writing to the sketches these days.
Several viewers have said, "This looks like a book!"
That makes me happy.
The little guys. 5 X 7's
Like the ones I most often sell.
A mess of sketchbooks in a case.
The show is not framed in fancy ways.
They are mostly rough sketches.
I enjoy it that people enjoy it.
Sharing my fun.
And encouraging others to
keep sketchbooks too.
Oh how exciting and what a lovely vernissage.I love how it is displayed and in the case.Wow Rita.Just wow.
ReplyDeleteI keep reading and loving more and more about taking liberties:)♥
I would buy your book.I would buy Carol's and I would buy yous.

Love it Rita. Hope to see it when I return. Making my own quick sketches. I'll share when I return.
ReplyDeleteRita your art is superb! Love seeing them framed and hanging at the library. The sketchbooks would be such a delight to page through.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was close enough to visit. I love the display case (good idea about journal keeping) and especially seeing your beautiful work collected, framed and looking wonderful. I hope you sell out!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful--I wish I was in the area, as I would definitely check out the show!
ReplyDeleteWe stopped in the library yesterday as we happened to be in town. I also sketch but I love your stuff!!! Wish I lived closer, I am from Albany NY!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to come home from so long away, and when I step into the library lobby, there is your show. You, who I carried on my shoulder all through the UK and Provence. I took a picture, I felt you standing there working in your sketchbooks. I saw a vignette, I felt you standing back and sketching.
ReplyDeleteDid you know you were traveling with me?
