Profusion Of Hollyhocks

Profusion Of Hollyhocks

8"x6" oil on Raymar panel SOLD

Artist Note

This painting was started after seeing 

the hollyhocks on my morning walk.

I came back with hubby who napped

 in the car while I got a start.

   I finished it at home.

I wonder if any of you still get my blog

because it has been almost

 three months since I last posted. 

I have never gone that long before.

AND...what months they have been.

Covid has turned them into 

an anxious time of worry 

for our loved ones and ourselves...

The lucky artist can work at home

 IF 

the creative drive is still flowing.

 I am happy 

to feel mine is slowly returning 

to where I am 

at least "thinking" painting

as I go about my day.

I am sending warmest wishes for 

safe and happier days 

while we adjust to the new norm.

Blessings.

Artist Note.

Thank you for all your good wishes for my grand opening
It was a fabulous night full of friendly
and appreciative crowds. The estimate was 250 - 300 attended
the Art Ramble and a couple of times we couldn't move it was so jammed.
I had some wonderful friends who helped without being asked.
Holly - who came when I finished teaching and helped move tables, dusted and
did the floor.
Karen, who took over the "drawing for a painting" area with great style
bringing pots of calla lilies, basket and her warm personality.
And... what can I say about Sherry, who baked for a week and brought
in trays and trays of the best home-made lemons bars, chocolate brownies,
fresh fruit sticks and many other delights, that you have ever tasted.
Can you imagine, she volunteered to do all that? I am in humble awe.
I publicly thank them as I do my hubby. who made and attended to the
punch and helped clean up.
I had flowers and plants sent by good and loving friends - no wonder
I felt so blessed and fortunate.

This pic below is taken in the studio area and some of the
Guild members pieces are on display. Click to enlarge to see if
you can see the art better.
Those are my drawing aids up on the top shelf!

This next shot is more of the Guild member's work on the
wall at the end. I used my I-Phone so the shots are not anywhere
as good as my Nikon. Their paintings received as much attention
as my work so I am full of pride at being included with them.

My gallery area looked bright and colorful with my work.
I received very positive feedback and many people had
never heard of the, "a painting a day movement" and
seemed genuinely interested hearing about it and
seeing the smaller paintings.
I am happy to say I did very well.
