Visit to a gallery


I treated myself to a trip to Berkeley (about 1 hr 45 min) after meeting with a friend. Judi had seen an article about Nina Katz who challenged herself to draw, with pencil, in her moleskin each day. Sound familiar? Nina chose to do drawing of people found in the New York Times obituary pages. What a treat to see this exhibit! Each face was so unique. She made a note of the person's name, age and claim to fame. The collection was a year's worth of drawings.


Then, Nina chose to paint some of the faces. This was a tiny exhibit, but really powerful to me.
Again, someone has put aside the excuse-"I have nothing to draw".
