Painting a memory is what I ended up doing in response to the feeling that Gallery Hop left with me in June 06 (See my in my blog archive drum workshop April 19th). It takes a while to let the experience "cook". In this instance it took a year for me to realize I wanted to paint my friends right into the mural. So I did!
I don't get much time to paint. But when I do it is a glorious feeling. Not much space in our house to do paintings. But not much space is needed. This little painting ended up being called 3 Cool Katz. It features Wahru, Ron, and Pat. Three drummers that I am always glad to see and glad to drum with. I got to drum with both Wahru and Ron this weekend. Maybe Pat will come to visit soon and I will get to drum with her too!
