as Nick is in Paris
I got to thinking about my year in Europe 33 years ago...
I studied art in the '70s and at that time the 'in' art form was abstract - that's what we learned. So when I graduated from college I felt the need to take an intensive drawing class. So I proposed to apprentice with Albrecht Durer for one year. I think the committee had quite a chuckle and I got their attention as he has been dead for almost 500 years. I figured that I needed to bathe myself in his work and that meant reading his manuscripts in the British Museum, studying all his originals in museums from London to Vienna and Sweden to Spain, and finally following his wanderlust trip from Nuremberg over the Alps to Italy - right? And low and behold they agreed to the fellowship so off I went...
This morning I pulled out my sketchbook and took a look...
seems like only yesterday...
As soon as the finger is better (doctor Friday then maybe 1-2 weeks left)
I want to start drawing for fun, yes just fun...
and not take art so seriously!!!
OH...MY...GOODNESS! This is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable, the sketches and the story behind them.
ReplyDeleteI also loved your Sunday Blessing post. Such beauty.
To add any more words to what I feel would detract from the beauty that I simply want to relish and savor.
Blessings.
