Flower Power

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I drew on anything I was allowed to and sometimes on things I was not allowed to. My family always encouraged me, but I still had to wait until I was in the fifth grade to be admitted to a local art class. It was one of the longest waits of my life. Once there, I felt like I was in heaven. I have not stopped making art and knowing how blessed I am to have a gift like this.

My students and I are traveling with @ilchiostroworkshops  in the Dolomites, staying at the beautiful Stadt Hotel Città in Bolzano. For the next few days, the Dolomites are our home studio.

We’re spending our time sketching together, sometimes diving into a creative lesson, other times finishing pages in our sketchbooks. This group of artists has traveled with me before through Il Chiostro. They are seasoned travelers and dedicated drawers, yet there’s always something new to learn from each other.

Artists are never bored when drawing. Everything feels fresh, even familiar sights, once you put pencil to paper. Today was a perfect day for capturing the many layers of mountains using one of my favorite approaches: modified blind contour drawing.

Title: Coronabstraction, 6x6 watercolor and ink
I painted at the start of the pandemic; red germs swirling, fear turned into joy on the page.

To the Beach, 6x6, watercolor and ink

After painting this warm abstract I saw bubbles, beach blankets, umbrellas,  boardwalks, and fish!

My mom, Clare McCarthy, taught me how to work with alcohol inks. We had so much fun playing with this medium and watching these colors become flowers. Somehow, Mom and I can turn anything into flowers!

Ron and I are so fortunate for the many opportunities we’ve had to travel together. Sometimes I’m teaching, sometimes I’m not—but we always make it an adventure. To keep these moments alive long after the trip is over, Ron creates memory books, and I fill my sketchbook.

Cicada Across the Potomac, Cicada Cuddles, Dancing Cicada

They became my unexpected muses, with their segmented bodies, bold eyes, and delicate, lacy wings. The more I painted them, the more beauty I discovered in these fascinating little creatures.
