A Painting of Wildflowers "The Misfits"

The Misfits

Watercolor

$95.00

11" x 91/2"

Just north of my home is a small town that has a farmer's market on

Saturday mornings. It folds up about noon. About 11:30, I walked past the

organic vegetable stands and then passed the local honey and

a few hopeful artists. At a particularly busy stand, people

were buying colorful bundles of fresh cut and wild flowers. As the wave of buyers

had walked on, I looked over the selection of about six or so bundles that were left.

Actually, I found I was more interested in the flowers and weeds that had been

left sitting behind the table. The girls looked a little bewildered

as I asked them to "grab me up a handful

of some those flowers back there"

(Meanwhile another wave of buyers were getting the rest of the already bundled flowers.) Walking away with the tall lanky coneflowers

with oddly shaped petals and a few weeds wrapped in paper and plastic,

I was already painting them in my head.

Chalice / Traditions Drawing

Chalice
31/2"x 41/2"
$40.00
(prints available starting at $10.00)

In the drawing I have suggested a chalice. More than a cup to hold wine , a chalice is symbolic of family and traditions. Yet there is an outer covering sloughing off. We often build traditions that others are completely unaware of . We live these self imposed traditions, dissappointed when others don't get it and sometimes become obsessed with the need for them.

If they only knew...

These line drawings are in my Bibelot Gallery at http://www.abrushwithrusty.com/.
Each begins as a non-objective line drawing. Sometimes the images emerge as I allow my mind to meander into the thoughts it chooses. Sometimes I ponder sayings, give into my moods or worries and the resulting drawings are powerful.
