We’ve been grateful for the response to the first blog, published two weeks ago. It was about drawing and how that’s generally the basis for painting. It’s not always so, and almost never in the process of Anne’s printmaking. But continuing that theme, this issue will display a number of recent drawings that went on to become paintings, and one example of Anne’s work, which involved no drawing at all.

Rachel Waiting, <\/em>Charcoal on newsprint, 24×36<\/h6>\n

Rachel was a fellow student. I didn’t really get to know her, but did appreciate the posture as she and others sat outside for an informal lecture. This is a pretty rough sketch, on flimsy paper, two sheets taped together. It was only to get me going; a painting shortly followed. \"Rachel<\/a><\/p>\n

These drawings and paintings were done under the same instructor mentioned last time. I was on more of an “independent study” track. I asked what I should paint and got an outburst: “Don’t ask me what you should paint; you’re a professional . . . you decide.” It’s the kind of double-edged comment that can truly help, an encouragement on one side and a conviction on the other. Again I opted for what was right in front of me, literally, another fellow student. Sandy was fine with that, herself an art teacher (of children) and concentrating at her own easel. Originally from Germany, her braid added particular interest. First came the drawing, then later the painting, more or less from the drawing. (See both below.) \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Living the Promise”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I put that in quotes because it’s the title of one of Anne’s new prints. But it makes another statement as well, one that I like . . . something about living great lives. Not that there aren’t challenges, sometimes massive, but we enjoy contentment mostly, the exploration of beauty and the pursuit of new ways to express it.* But I don’t know if all that’s what Anne had in mind when she titled this particular piece of art. It’s one of many new pieces coming through her hands lately, and off her press. We highlight this here as it’s the one to be featured in a show at the Wells Fargo Bank in Laguna Beach. That’s actually one of a number of shows coming up for her . . . to be described more in e-galleries to come. Here’s the print. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
