My yellow pastel on this cover is a pastel I did in 2005 at Truro Center for the Arts– of their windmill. I was so happy to see stacks of the 2006 catalogue Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill with my art on the cover, all over the Cape summer of 2006. Its a truly GREAT art school.
This was a high point for me, one of my favorite moments when I went to the Cape and saw my charcoal drawing all over the place that summer on this flier and in gallery guides. My charcoal sketch of the cupola and weather vane that tops the iconic windmill at Truro Center for the Arts, one of my most favorite places on the outer Cape, was used in an ad for the annual lecture series that was published in the Provincetown Gallery Guide 2006. Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, then celebrating 35 years, has a full roster of classes with distinguished faculty in visual arts & writing as well as a weekly lecture series. To see my sketch used listing their distinguished artist faculty and readings and talks by the following folks gave me such a smile:
Well, it was a thrill. Such company! Here is the sketch. It was done in a wonderful 4 day workshop Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill with Peter Waite. That same summer I was greeted to the Cape with another of my sketches (the bright yellow pastel) from that fabulous workshop on the cover of their summer class catalog. Great piles of them in all the galleries in Wellfleet and Provincetown. If you ever want a great time, take a workshop there.
