@writecreature No. These paintings are by the fabulous Walter Anderson. My painting is Janis Joplin.
The Agony and the Ecstasy of being a #writer is that you love to collect books, but then you have difficulty finding time to read them. Yet, reading fuels my writing. I am declaring every Friday #FridayReads, as a time that I'll #read at least a bit from my books #PWPoePrompts
For most of my life, I lived in #Mississippi, where Walter Anderson grew up and painted. No doubt, his use of #color has greatly influenced my own work. Like him, I use #blue instead of black. Re-reading my copy of a book about him: The Horn Island Logs #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
Re-reading my copy of Arthur Rackham: A Biography. Although my work is nothing like his, #rackham is my hero. No one has ever spun magic in "illustration the way that he did. Must-have book. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
Today, I am reading Peter Pan in Kensington Garden - Not the same as Peter and Wendy. "...the lady with the balloons, if she were to let go her hold of the railings for one moment, the balloons would lift her up..." Celebrating the need to be more like a child. #PWPoePrompts
Today, I am reading my own copy of the beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated In the Quiet Noisy Woods by Michael Rosen and #illustrated by Annie Won. Every #Illustrator should study Won's #illustration style in this book. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
The thing that I miss most about living in the North is the access there to great art there. Today, I am rereading the exhibition catalog American Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent. When I saw the tent, I gasped. You must see that painting live #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
