Kathleen House did not take an art class until she was 16 years old, but all through her childhood creativity expressed through art was part of her life.
The first time she drew was on her Grandmother’s front porch at 3 years old. She would also draw and label images of her junior high science classes. Being a Girl Scout was one of the biggest influences on Kathleen’s life, as she learned how to complete goals by successfully selling cookies going door to door. Her experiences in choir and band from 5th grade through high school also gave her a taste of art through music. She went on to play in the marching band during her freshman year of college.
My second experience with nature through the window was when I was sitting atone in a small room. I noticed an image on the wall in front of me as sun came through the window behind me. The images were nature’s reflections on the wall. TTiose reflections impressed me, so I started taking pictures on my iPhone. I captured quite a lot of nature’s reflections. A couple times we visited fnends and I was able to capture more images. Some were outside on patio walls. As the quarantine started to lift, restaurants opened in small capacity. I found nature’s reflections on the gravel parking lot at The Bartonville Store.
The final scenes in this series are trees in nature on our property. Relaxing on the front porch, viewing nature in person brings me peace.
