Ceola Beasley
“Traveling”
Aspen Healthcare 19th Avenue
Ceola’s colorful abstract painting, “Traveling,” refers to the way the watercolor paint traveled down the paper when she lifted it up and moved it around.
A native of Louisiana, she moved to San Francisco in 1944. She raised “eight or nine kids” and has “quite a heap” of grandkids. She is in her early 90s.
Her family visits her almost every day, and at Tuesday’s art class she gets them to help her paint. Instructor Virginia Jourdan observes, “If you give her a brush and paint, she gets really relaxed and into the painting, meditating on the colors.”
In addition to making art, she plays Bingo, goes on lunch outings to Applebee’s (she loves pancakes), and attends Bible study. She enjoys music and used to sing at church, when she “was stronger.”
Ceola likes to wear beautiful bracelets, rings, and earrings, which sparkle like her smile.
