Ireland Memories page

I 'm pretty sure I could fill a journal with just Ireland
memories---here are some Gorse flowers that grow
everywhere in Ireland, a pitcher I loved coming upon,
castle yard hardware and Hennessey the Flavin family dog
where I stayed for a week in Listowel, County Kerry.
My ex students may be
interested to know I look at one
of my photos on the computer
and draw by eye for all this stuff--
or sometimes by eye from the actual object.
doing it everyday has brought back my sketching
times which I had missed---I always thought
it was ideal to just draw--I remember thinking
James C Christensen's sketch books were the
most interesting things he did even
when I'd see his great paintings
on the walls--it was the sketches that
enthralled me....
but that's just me being me

Seeing your journals sketches are a way for the rest of us to peek into the World of Winna. It's like looking at little secret thoughts and feelings through the art. It is different than a photograph because it is more personal...like reading someone's diary.
