Not Far From Home: The Show


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.

  5. Rita your art is superb! Love seeing them framed and hanging at the library. The sketchbooks would be such a delight to page through.

  6. I 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!

  9. How 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.


    Did you know you were traveling with me?
