Tree/Wind - 3/14/17
The word for this week felt very appropriate. I also like the lyric from the song associated with the word: "Just like a tree, standing by the waterside..." This past weekend I visited my grandfather in Carmel. He is very sick and in hospice care at home. I took a picture of some oak trees on the way back to Berkeley for this drawing. The colors are loosely based on an oil painting above my grandfather's bed of a field of red poppies. Below the painting on the mantel there were some yellow daffodils from Trader Joe's. I wanted to make a drawing made up of mainly these two colors.
