Whew!! Just hauled 5 of my larger paintings to the Midtown Carnegie Library in Springfield, MO, for the "Mantels of Midtown" show which runs thru February 28th, 2016. Like a dummy I left my emergency blinkers on while I unloaded and helped install my paintings.........probably an hour. Well, long enough to run my battery completely down....... Thankfully Eva Pelkey, Manager, was an angel and had some jumper cables to recharge my car. Then a library client fell into a seizure in the parking lot. So after much ado the ambulance left and a nice guy helped us "helpless females jump my car"........I was finally back on the road. So much for a relaxing day............Here's a photo of the front of this beautiful historic building, and the 5 paintings.

This is a tribute to a wonderful art friend who died a few years ago, Dennis Yates. He was and still is an inspiration to me. I uploaded this painting of mine before, but this is a better photo of the painting. Dennis let me use his original photo to work from. I've had many offers to purchase this, but I promised him I wouldn't sell it, so it graces my brother's dining room in Alabama. This is "Apple Basket", 16"x 20", Oil on canvas.

Wedding at Dogwood Chapel, Branson "Flag Day", 14"x 11", Oil on canvas Where has the time gone?! Covid is better but still some new cases going around! Since the last post my world has changed. In 2021, 8 years after losing my late husband Robert, God blessed me with a wonderful man, Steven McKinney. He had also lost his wife. Who would have guessed that we would meet on Facebook Dating! Ha. We hit it off from the start with many family and interests in common. After a short engagement we eloped on New Years Day, January 1st, 2022. Enjoyed a dream honeymoon in Honolulu and Maui and trips to Arizona. Many more shared times and trips to come. Thankfully Steven supports my painting passion so I've managed to do some new pieces along the way. I plan a new art studio to be built behind our new home in Bolivar, MO. Prayers and thoughts for all who were killed and devastated by the terrible fires in Maui. So sad to see that all we enjoyed last
