"What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing: you wouldn't be an artist if you didn't want to share an experience, a thought. "
David Hockney
I am actually writing this post in mid-February of 2009, as it will show on line. I had a hard time finishing all the entries for last year's "Painting-a-Week." The sticking point isn't making or finding the paintings, it's figuring out what to say and getting them, posted in a timely manor. I'm proud to have done it for two years and I am ready for a change.
So the last painting for 2008 is, Cherry Basket. It is a watercolor 25" x 17" . I bough the porcelain basket in Florence Italy. The cherries are Rainiers from our back yard tree. It is snowing lightly now, and I look forward to seeing the cherry trees blossom and bear fruit again. II need the stime to plan how to foil the starlings and crows and keep all the cherries for oursleves this year. The painting is for sale for $800.00. Please contact
Mary Gregg Byrne for purchase and further information.
Please kepp visiting to see what changes and improvemnets I come up with. I wish everyone the best year of your life, so far.
