Total Recall

I did this quick little watercolor and ink sketch in a Borders Bookstore. When I looked at it this evening, I remembered it as though it just happened only a few hours ago. Then I looked at the date of the artwork. I did the painting in October of 2006. That was almost two years ago! Yet, the memory is as fresh as the coffee was that the man in the light blue shirt put on the table.

Painting from life has the ability to etch a scene so deeply in ones memory that it does not easily fade with time.

If you have ever had a challenge remembering things, try painting it on the canvas of your mind.
