(ATLANTA :: 12 Dec. 2009) - When
you’re floating on a boat down Canal du Midi in the beautiful south of
France, you can close your eyes and just dream.
And dream we did. As fate would have it, four ARTvision artists - Will Pollock, Rob O’Connor, Sara O’Connor and Rebecca Shirkey-Sloan - were on that boat living the dream and planning world domination. (Oh wait, that was last week’s episode of Family Guy).
Seriously though, there was an
artistic flow of energy on the vessel that was
palpable but as yet undefined... until now. (Two
subjects were also on hand giving us lots of
inspiration as we drifted and chugged down the
canal.)
Sara “Muffy” O’Connor joins ARTvision for the first time with “Bridge Over the Canal du Midi” - a scene that spoke to her enough to snap pictures of it with brother Rob’s camera. She painted her 9x12 canvas from that picture.
“I really was inspired by the beauty of the bridge and it's amazing history,” she says. “It felt like the bridge had a soul to me.”
“Bridge Over the Canal du Midi” is offered at $95.
