It's fabulous! It is framed in an old heavy tarnished gold frame with the glass all pitted and tiny bubbles on the surface (it's old) and it hung above her formal living room sofa for as long as I can remember. I always told her not to let that one get away because I really liked it. So when she died and we went back to her house and I went in and discovered the blank space on the wall above the sofa I gasped and asked what happened to the picture! My aunt went over and pulled the picture out from behind the sofa and told me "here, she told us to save this for you". Needless to say I was surprised and teary eyed!<br />Funny thing though, we never did discuss what where and when she got it. If we did I don't remember. Now why didn't we have that conversation??Browndirtcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259939643695340109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-32406647699198567612012-03-05T20:00:08.894-05:002012-03-05T20:00:08.894-05:00Now that's a book I'll have to read!

...Great news in your life on all fronts - congrats!<br />Somehow I haven't been to Art Museums lately, need to take care of that. <br />I still really like August Macke, especially 'Der Seiltaenzer'. Franz Marc, Hundertwasser - not only his paintings, but his buildings even more so. Living in Austria for 3 years I managed to see quite a few of them.Barb in Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039598860816147490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-47608924351228949172012-03-03T01:11:58.744-05:002012-03-03T01:11:58.744-05:00Delightful news!

Your little dog is also very very cute - a cavalier?<br />We have no art museums except for the Vassar College one. I rely heavily on the internet. I have a degree in fine arts and used to be in touch with the art world, but after 911 I stopped going into the city.... I need to change that up!<br />Georgia O'Keefe. Mary Cassett. Monet. Dali.

It can be a statue from Rodin, Glass blown by Chilluly's studio, Paper cut outs and paintings by Matisse, hand-painted faience ware from France, to textile pieces from Hollis Chatelain. <br /><br />It's hard to choose one favorite artist. It depends on what moves me at the time. <br /><br />thanks for friending me on FB yesterday.Jean(ie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15896800216435689040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-13423502922861881672012-03-02T12:19:24.863-05:002012-03-02T12:19:24.863-05:00How wonderful that your daughter is creating her o...How wonderful that your daughter is creating her own art, wonderful piece.
