I find it magical, how the stroke of a paint-filled brush put to paper can become a leaf, or bird, or landscape. My paintings explore the mystery of capturing a fleeting moment in time\u2013 a bird alighting on a branch or the feel of a landscape.<\/p>\n<p>I have always found nature intriguing and became interested in the Japanese art of sumie several years ago. Sumie appeals to me because of it\u2019s expression of energy and spontaneity \u2013 each brush stroke matters and is irrevocable. The tradition of sumie painting is to capture the essence or spirit of a subject in the fewest possible strokes without concern for it\u2019s outward appearance.<\/p>\n<p>My work with sculpture began several years ago after seeing a large sculpture made of sticks by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130926112802\/http:\/\/www.stickwork.net\/\">Patrick Dougherty<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130926112802\/http:\/\/www.lmapa.org\/\">Lancaster Museum of Art<\/a>. I\u2019ve created large nests of my own, a series of spherical forms: \u201cTumbleWood\u201d, and an oversized teapot with a cup and saucer: \u201cTwig Tea\u201d. All made with twigs from my garden and the gardens of friends. Twig sculptures become 3-dimensional\u00a0drawings, where lines are created by the sticks themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Judy Beck Lobos is an artist and gardener.
