Art Catch Up

I have fallen behind in my posts for #NationalArtsandHumanities Month. I was out of town doing a #photography & #painting workshop at #Minnesota #Wildlife #Connection with Jan Martin McGuire. You may have seen a few pictures I posted on FB of the native wildlife in Minnesota. I have enough reference images between there, going to Flagstaff for autumn color and recent visit to #Liberty Wildlife to create lots of new works for the next year and beyond.

Back to Arts and Humanities month, here are my posts for this week:
Monday - Theater
Tuesday - Rhymes with Art
Wednesday - Numbers in Art
Thursday - My 1st Art Experience

Since today is Thursday, lets start there. I don't have a image for my first art experience. In fact I am not exactly sure I know what that first experience really is, because I was encouraged at a very early age to draw. I know I was in elementary school and got in trouble for drawing on a quiz paper. Luckily my teacher contacted my Mom and told her to help me find ways to create without doing it on my school work. Mom got me sketch books but that did not stop me from doodling on school papers.

I think this was my first box of pastels

Some of these pastel pencils could be the first set I ordered

Wednesday, numbers, as I was looking for an image I came across my Fibonacci paintings. "Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician from the Republic of Pisa, considered to be "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages".  The Fibonacci spiral: an approximation of the golden spiral created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling; this one uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and 21. Wikipedia"

"Within the Fibonacci I"

"Within the Fibonacci II"

Backing up some more, Tuesday, Rhymes with Art - Wild at heART...the name I have used for my business and sometimes special shows. I now just use l. harrison-parsons but Wild at heART may appear as a title for a show now and again - maybe next October back on the east coast, say in Middletown, MD. 

Going one more day to catch me up for the week - Monday - Theater - Well, have to go with N.Y. Rick and I did a trip before before to AZ and took in a couple plays. Recently, we were down in Tucson and saw "Beautiful" the story of Carol King's making of Tapestry but did not take a picture. So, N.Y.,New York!

This brings me up to date for postings for National Arts and Humanities Month. Friday will bring one of my favorites.
