Hurricane With Flying Tree and Other Drawings

By Virginia Street

Virginia Street, award-winning sculptor, painter and art educator, received a BFA in Fine Art from Cornell University in 1956. In 2005, Ms. Street lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. After the hurricane, she created a series of colored pencil and ink drawings on paper, spanning a period of six years. Her home in Pass Christian and the hurricane became the subject matter of many of her pictures, as well as more cheerful things such as flowers, plants, the sun, the moon, the ocean, sailboats, spider webs, crabs, fruit, vegetables, barns, bottles, trees, fields, fences, animals and people, and buildings that are not being blown away in a storm. Her masterful compositions, strong drawing skills and painterly technique elevates the colored pencil medium to new heights. The book features forty-seven colored pencil and ink drawings by the artist.
