Back in 1989 I had about a week on my own as my wife and our young daughter went to visit her family out of state and so I had time in northern Virginia to do my art work. It was an explosion of creativity for me and I worked all the time when I was not working to pay our bills by selling wine in Washington D.C.
I will have to look at this word-writing more closely and see when I did this one. I think that it might have been done a bit later on? I can't remember just now as that once that I started doing these word-writings I continued to do them and develop them for quite some time afterward. It was great. It was the beginning of a whole " new " chapter of art for me.
Originally I had wanted in those two weeks of 1989 to both paint and to write and so somehow it occurred to me that I could combine the two and both write and draw and create my art at the same time. I used pens and pencils and lots of watercolors as well. I was off : a new form of expression was born for me and now all I had to do was develop and follow it where it would lead. I was a willing participant in all of this.
Here is one that I recently singled out to share with you all. Being an artist and loving art and both the Phillips Art Gallery as well as the Marmottan Museum in Paris, France this is a natural word-writing for me to include here. Hope you like it. I will be including more as I go along. Cheers and stay-tuned. Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
