On Sabbaticals and Lifelines | Carla O’Connor
A yearlong sabbatical outside the classroom gave workshop instructor and watercolor artist Carla O’Connor time for reflection, renewal and reconnection. “I had begun a group of paintings several years ago,” O’Connor says, “but my workshop schedule had monopolized a majority of my time and attention, causing me to put the works aside. While on leave, though, I was motivated to complete Lifelines, a series of large paintings based on my personal family history. I knew it was important to my growth—both personally and artistically.”
Below are several paintings in the series; more can be seen in the June 2014 issue of Watercolor Artist, available at northlightshop.com and on newsstands April 22.
