Studio time and a sketchbook pomegranate study. These actual dried pomegranates were snipped from a bush right outside the studio...and included a small bulbous grey spider which crawled out of the pod painted in the lower right corner. I am NOT a fan of spiders..so he was wisked from the scene immediately! I went with paint straight in...and added some ink flourishes as decorative highlights. Another day in paradise? Ahh...You betcha! .:)

Finding peace in unsuspecting spots is a useful talent. Of course a campus quad or seaside vista brings on the relaxification, but when you can be in your personal zone of comfort in the middle of a hectic environment, it's a neat trick.

My great-grandfather's ink drawing of a locomotive. He would have drawn this in high school when he was about 15 years old. D.O.B. (geb.) 1857. Sheetsize is 50cm x 33cm.
Though, I am not sure whether 1857 is the date of birth. I have a dated photo of my great-grandfather who was born in 1830 and died in December 1914. Therefore, he would have been 27 when he drew this locomotive. This is a bit of a puzzle to me... Unless "Geb 1857" = "Get. 1857" (getan/done, in German).
Drawing straight lines appears to be in our (the 'Temperli') blood. In high school, I was the first girl who was permitted to join the boys in the elective of technical drawing. Though, my wonderful mum had to put in a really good word for me and, eventually, the teacher relented and I was able to join the class. Later on, I also managed to get into another boys' elective, woodwork, also as the first girl and a few more girls joined later on as well.
Great-grandfather, grand-father, as well as my father, became farmers. I became an architectural detail draftswoman - keeping the tradition of drawing straight lines in the family :)

This was literally digging through my 'archives' to get this ink wash still life from my Fall 1971 Art Class at Concordia Teachers College (now Concordia University) in River Forest, Illinois.
(Yes, I saved my art work to use as examples when I would teach art later on.) Crates, horse collars, linking rods, and a horse skull composed this still life assignment, and we sat around it as a class, each drawing it from our own perspective. Once completed, the whole classes' projects were displayed, and it was like a virtual walk around of the still life in the art lab.

A resolute calm, relentless, the word that chose. Some will question
Why? And the question sent back, Why? Why are you here? This is a beauty, marked. The cheek a hue of shade. The view, askance. And, the hair, radiating glints of light, wisdom seen from above. The nose,
a hint of marble, throwing back the light. All is well. We know that now.

About "The Redeemer Project": In November of 2017 I received an invitation from Bethany Kenyon of Redeemer University College in Ontario, Canada to participate in a two-person exhibition. My initial thought was to show a few paintings, but various considerations led me to the idea of making a series of small, postcard sized drawings. The drawings would be installed over the course of the exhibition one at a time, starting with just one. I invited my wife Sherrie to write a text for each drawing (see above) which I will post in relation to each drawing concurrently with when it (the drawing) is installed in the exhibition.
