Pause
"Pause by Ann Calandro is an 11" x 14" pastel drawing which was completed in 2010. In it I tried to capture a moment of quiet, reflection, and repose, preferably accompanied by coffee in an old-fashioned diner mug." ~Ann Calandro

“I’ve been influenced by Henri Rousseau, who set out to reproduce the world photographically and ended up creating a world of enchantment; by Romare Bearden and Jacob Lawrence, whose artwork is a symphony of color and narrative; by Alice Hoffman, whose books mix realism with fables and myths; and by many other artists, writers, and musicians. I often get ideas for my artwork from songs, and I like to incorporate words into my artwork.” ~Ann Calandro
