After talking about age (more and less) with my Wednesday class, I told them the curator of my exhibit in Annapolis Royal a few years ago put the comment “now in her early sixties” in the catalogue and my response was “Don’t say that!” And he said I could be a role model for younger female artists. So I said “Okay.”
Conductors are known for longevity, healthy strong bodies and minds. The constant energetic movement must be good for people. The same with art. And I think the state of mind, one of being constantly open to possibilities, to change, to circumstances, keeps the artist young.
Here’s me, playing with paint, in a photo taken last year by my friend Heidi. (I’ve posted it on my website as well.)
Leya, I love this photo of you, you look very huggable! Love your painting too, but you are the beauty in this picture.
Leya, R and I are in Fredericton right now. My Dad has just died and I miss him greatly, just wanted to hug you from afar.
love Jackie
