On this stormy day in Nova Scotia (we have already seen over 30cm of snow where I am situated) which marks Elizabeth Bishop's 110th birthday, I share a bright, cheerful and sunny drawing from Emma FitzGerald, the illustrator of Rita Wilson's wonderful book about EB, A Pocket of Time (Nimbus 2019).
Of this image, Emma writes:
"I am attaching 'Bike and Bloom' which I sketched in Great
Village in October 2013 during my first residency at the Bishop house, a few
days after the anniversary of her death. It is currently being reworked into a largescale 'mural'/wall
art for a financial institution in downtown Halifax at King's Wharf on the
water, (my deadline for refining the drawing is Feb 8 - Bishop's Birthday) so
it will have a new life in a new form."
