A TRIP TO MAINE, 2013
I was never much for sketching, I
occasionally dipped in to a couple of
spiral bound books. Over the past few
years, I’ve been influenced to explore
journaling by my friend and gifted
journal keeper, Rosemary Connelly.
So, this is all her fault.
During my art fellowship year in
2013, I took a private sculpture
workshop in Maine with Anne
Alexander in her studio near Portland.
I’ve always had a great interest in
sculpting and wanted top try it.
Afterwards we took a week’s
holiday exploring some of the scenic
Maine coast. Falling in love with
Maine is easy to do.
And I also fell in love with
recording our travel days in a
journal. In fact I bought my first
proper journal in Maine...now I use
Moleskin mostly or homemade ones
with leftover 300 lb paper.
I carry my small bag of brushes
and palette everywhere I go.
