Odilon Redon is easily in my top 3 favorite artists of all time (the other two tend to vary, but Redon stays strong). I was introduced to him by a drawing teacher at University of Dayton and fell in love. It had been a few years since i had really looked at his work and so last week while i was researching some then:now posts, something inside me sparked, lit up, and fully engulfed me with the flames of inspiration. So i purchased a book of his pastels which just arrived a few days ago. I havent had the chance to fully sit down with it yet...i think i'll need a few open morning hours, a silent cell phone, and a good cup of coffee to soak it all in. can't wait!
