Barbara's book ready to leave

So I prepared my book and it is ready to leave for BelleVue! Now I just have to find back her address... :-)
Here are pictures of the front pages and of the first 3 pages with the Alechinsky theme. I painted some memories, choices of life and some favorite moments of every day and of always, trying to figure out who I am. What are your choices of life and are you happy with them?
The central painting is on a collage with watercolor paper and the promenade marginale is with ink and watercolor on japanese paper collage.
Have fun !

Barbara's intro : Pierre Alechinsky

Hi Everybody!!!

Trying to catch up coming back from some holidays!
I am really axcited about participating in this group!
So I wil introduce myself :
I am 39, living in Brussels, exercising as an architect doing conservation and restoration of monuments and art works and doing some art myself in my free time :)). I do mainly watercolor.

I am also in another moly exchange group that is working quite well : http://moleskinex3.blogspot.com/

As artist I hesitated a long time and finally choose Pierre Alechinsky : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Alechinsky
I like his painting and the structure of his painting especially, with mostly the contrast of a coloured paint in the center of the artwork and then a "promenade" in the margin around the colors with a "story" in black ink like a cartoon. So feel free not necessarily to imitate his forms but you can use your own style of painting and make a story about your view of life in the Pierre Alechinsky structure style. Like for example his great painting of central park here above. Feel also free to make a collage! (he does it as well: mainly japanese paper on canvas for the promenades in chinese ink).

I would also like to propose for this particular moly theme to use the large folding moly? What do you think? I know it's more exxpensive to send probably...

Looking forward to start!

Barbara
