Title
Where Was I Going
Artist
Jean Cormier
Medium
Painting - Oil On Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Description
The title was inspired by my recent visit to a nursing home to visit my nearly 90 year old ex-mother in law. She's quite lucid, but so many of the residents are not exactly sure where they are. The strutting magpie at the bottom symbolizes sorrow. (From the nursery rhyme, "One for Sorrow". All images and works in my portfolio are done totally free hand, not just this type of expressive work!

CONGRATULATIONS Jean! I have chosen this excellent unique and creative image to be "SHOWCASED" at the top of the Home Page in the "Out Of The Ordinary 1 A Day" group! L/F 1/16/18 - 1/22/18 Your image touched me as my mother and all her siblings developed Alzheimer’s. It was very sad!
Jean Cormier replied:
Oh, wow, Lyric, thank you so much...it is a horrible disease that robs the mind of all it is and was and could be. An artist friend of mine was stricken and didn't remember that she was an artist, much less how to draw or paint. My heart goes out to you. jean

Jean Cormier replied:
Wow, Sara, you are just too sweet...But it is you who are in a class of your own-a top notch artist with superior drawing skills! And over the top presentation of the subjects in situations which usually make me smile and if not, it is a poignant scene! I am still searching for what I do best ! jean
