One morning I heard a weather report during which the weatherman (Art Lake, for all you Rhode Islanders. For the rest of you, no, I am not making his name up...) said something unexpectedly poetic. He said "the atmosphere is very fragile today"...I'm not sure what that meant, but I liked it! I painted this on my lunch break.
NOT FOR NOTHING, BUT: I'm sorry that they rebuilt the interior stairs in the Providence Art Club. I loved the old wide wavy wooden stairs. I imagine they were the original 1880's treads, worn into smooth organic slabs by thousands of artist's footsteps.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love 'Fragile Atmosphere'. How big is it? What type of paint?

Thanks Birgit. It's on one of those postcard-sized watercolor pads, done in watercolor and gouache. Mr. Lake, a RI icon, has passed away since, into the fragile atmosphere.
