Recollections / by Helen Hajnoczky

I was looking for some piece of art… a watercolour of Montreal I think, and came across some drawings I did when I was 18 or 19. I drew a lot of birch and poplar trees—I’d completely forgotten how much I loved drawing those. I also have a bunch of frames I bought at IKEA to prep for Starry Dynamo that I didn’t use that I was going to return, but now that we’re stuck inside I thought I’d use them. So last night I made this as a fun project to use these leaves I collected on a family drive to Kananaskis this fall. I kind of neglected them on a shelf until David pointed them out to me recently, so I’m pleased to have incorporated them into a project now. Here’s the final product, and you can see the processing photos here. I’d post them but my internet is slow as molasses today!
