Another Springtime

Last spring, I published a post containing images of several Beauford Delaney abstracts that evoked the season: Springtime.

I had the same idea for this post, but I'm giving it a different twist.

During the Classes Duo Paris/Knoxville program that united elementary school students from Paris and Beauford's hometown of Knoxville, TN, one of the lessons the students undertook involved copying Beauford's Untitled (Trees).

I love this painting - its clean lines and assorted colors remind me of spring. Here are images of several watercolor copies of the work that were created by Classes Duo students in 2018.
