Lynn says,"Sometimes artistic inspiration comes from strange places. This was true for
Holyrood. One day my husband, who was in the
paper recycling business, spotted a very old, tattered volume moving up a
conveyor belt toward a shredder. Knowing how much I love vintage books, he
snatched it just in time and brought it home to me. It turned out to be an
original volume from a series of biographies of eminent Scotsmen, printed in the
early 1800s!
One page spoke of Holyrood, the castle where Mary Queen of Scots once resided.
I've always been fascinated by that period in history and by that monarch's
tragic story. So I used this page as the basis for my collage, using bright,
cheerful colors as a sympathetic counterpoint to Mary's life, which was filled
with loss and controversy.
