| Grand Case |
| In December 2009 I returned from a remarkable and wonderful journey. pulled up our land roots and entered a watery world aboard our Owl and the Pussycat from the poem by Edward Lear, we "sailed away for a year and a day", although our voyage was a bit longer than a year and a day. We voyaged on Moonstruck to the Caribbean and then on across the Atlantic Ocean to Portugal in the summer of 2007 and spent the next three years slowly absorbing the countries and islands of the Mediterranean, studying their rich history and culture without the constraints of time. My horizons as an artist broadened as I took the opportunity to immerse myself in art and observe, sketch, paint, and photograph from a dazzling array of locations. Now that I am back home in Gig Harbor, Washington I am painting from my photographs and recapturing on canvas the excitement, emotion, and most of all the joie de vivre I felt in the moment that I snapped the photo. My hope is that the viewer will take away that feeling of wonder and in that sense my journey will continue. In addition to my travel themed work I also love to paint animals and am currently accepting commissions for pet portraiture. Joan Teed |
