I’ve been working on a series of mixed media tree panels to be bound into blank journals. A few of them have been bound up already and are available at amanobooks.com
Yesterday I took the el up to Evanston to my alma mater, Northwestern University, to attend a lecture at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art and to see the Robert Motherwell and Henry Moore exhibits. I actually used to work there back when it was a gallery as one of my work study jobs. I was the assistant to the curator of education. Funny how even though I was going to school for a degree that had absolutely nothing to do with art, there was a part of me that was always seeking to be around art in some fashion. Wish I had had some guidance back then. I would probably have a bachelor of fine arts instead of a bachelor of science!
Anyway, the lecture was very enlightening for me and I will try to write a post about it later if I get a chance. I did write this quote down by Motherwell on abstract expressionism and how one reaches self-discovery through the act of creation:
oh Bridgette, what a wonderful, wonderful quote - beautiful painting as always :)
such a lovely image, Bridgette...
Your panel is absolutly beautiful!
Was that a photo you enhanced at Susan Tuttle's workshop?
great quote, I agree- some of the "best" things I create start with a mistake. LOVEd this painting..beautiful!
peace
Gorgeous, gorgeous piece. The limited palette is a wonder!
This is beautiful , what a special journal for someone!
What a stunning image... a treasure!
Beautiful cover Bridgette. I love your subtlety in art, something I know nothing about! I loved the Motherwell quote. I really relate to it as my work is to create mistakes to respond to.
j'aime beaucoup
This is so beautiful!!!
Such depth and mystery to this piece -- and yet I feel that there are answers in it, too. And I love that quote as well. Mistakes are part of the process, indeed...

Your art really evokes such peaceful yet pensive feelings and this piece is no exception!
