“Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.”
– Samuel Johnson
Corner of Masa & Watercolor – 7″ x 10″
This was an exercise in
pure joy! I spent 3 hours
on this. I just couldn’t quit fiddling. I think that is part of the
fun of masa. Each brush stoke brings new discoveries.
The great reference photo was from Catherine at
WetCanvas and was actually a corner in France. I changed the signs because I am, after all, a sign lady.
About Samuel Johnson
Samuel Johnson, the sharp-witted British essayist, wrote the first
English language dictionary; his definitions still form the backbone of
current dictionaries. He was born in Staffordshire in 1709. Johnson
married a widow 20 years his senior and lived in poverty before
achieving success with his essays when he was in his forties. Later in
life, he befriended the young
James Boswell, whose
Life of Johnson became the quintessential English biography. Johnson died in 1784.
