They Teach Me to Remember

January 25, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized, paintings | by Sarah Blank |

First I would like to thank everyone who entered the locket contest. Such beautiful, touching people you all are! and your writings… I was amazed at the responces! Thank you.

There is still time! I plan to post the winner tomorrow night so please, don’t hesitiate to enter. I can’t wait to send off my little locket to one of you!

I have been spending my nights painting little scenes-within-scenes…stories, memories, imaginary places, animals. I painted They Teach Me to Remember with acrylics on a thick masonite panel with vintage wallpaper. I spent quite some time on her face, changing it a bit from the last time I posted. The whole piece of found wallpaper was hanging over my desk in my studio last year.

AND…Little by little I will be offering prints on canvas! This one is offerered in canvas AND fine art paper, in my shop. The title of the listing specifies paper or canvas.
xoxox!

This is so beautiful and mysterious. The colours are so warm and they make me feel like autumn is here again.

how perfect! i adore your studio space, too!
a very delicate and heartwarming image, the sideways glance creates the mystery, the surrounding creatures only a hint of the curious enchantment that lies in wait for her.

wonderful, as always!
