If you know my work, then you know that I often find my inspiration in great poets and authors. These days I am immersed in Eudora Welty. In her famous essay “Place in Fiction,” Eudora Welty begins by seeing “place” as one of “the lesser angels” attending the writer of fiction, but ends by seeing it as the “gathering spot of all that has been felt, is about to be experienced…” As always, I’m not interested in illustrating her world, her place. I am inspired by her to try to reflect on and envision mine. (Lendon Noe)
I’ve always had a passion for Art, especially painting. In second grade my mother thought I had talent.
Lessons started after 6 th grade with a Mrs. Labeth and after that, I was on my own. After graduation, I took a course in technical drawing at the Airport. Afterward, work life and military took over. I kind of left my painting alone until retirement. Art has now become very important to me again.
