Well, my mom’s paintings are delivered to Todmorden – thanks to Louise – and hopefully the list was correct and I got the Latin names right. Some of the more recent paintings weren’t labelled, so I scoured the plant websites trying to match the image my mom painted to photos showing a seemingly endless variety of any one plant family. I don’t think I fully realized how diverse nature can be. The gallery has a lot of space at the front so I included two sketches from 1964, and a range of work dating up to 2012. About 15 framed works in total. I’ll see the what they look like on the gallery walls at the opening on Saturday…
Now that the paintings are gone I have to do something about the gaps on the walls all over the house. I’ve been going through the cupboards and putting up paintings I haven’t seen for years. Thank heavens the house is not renovated into an open concept living space – I need the walls to hang artwork on!
