Hope

 "Hope",  20" x 20", Oil on Canvas

The Mary Williams Gallery, Boulder, Colorado

Price Available Upon Request

Friends, as I painted this floral over the last month, I had plenty of time to contemplate the whirlwind of emotions that are swirling around us all.  The feeling that stuck with me as I painted was hope- hope that we will soon be with family and friends sharing carefree days again.

Several people have told me that they would be interested in prints of my work, so I've started to set that process up!  This painting will be available as a print soon, so if you'd be interested, please let me know.  I'm still trying to decide what the best format would be.  The cheapest option (while maintaining the highest quality) would be a gyclee print on high quality paper, ready to be framed.  I can also have prints made on canvas, ready to pop into a frame and hung.  If you have an opinion on any of this, I'd love to hear from you!

It's snowing today in Denver, which is the best news possible for putting out the fires raging all through the state.  Everything is cancelled, so I'll light my new cedar and evergreen candle and hunker down inside.  I hope you're having a beautiful fall wherever you are!

New Work at the J. Petter Gallery

"Fractured Sunflowers", 28x22", oil on canvas

Yesterday was an eventful day at the J. Petter Gallery in Saugatuck.  I was joined by five other Petter Gallery artists, Eddie Mitchell, Nina Weiss, Carla Sutton, Gert Olsen, and Lisa Vanderhill for the Second Saturday event.  We were on hand for the afternoon to paint, chat with visitors, and show our latest work.  

"Fractured Sunflowers"  was debuted at the show, along with two other large pieces.  Images of all my paintings at the Petter Gallery can be seen by clicking on Ann Feldman Petter Gallery.  

Here are a couple of photos I snapped during a brief lull in the activity:

One of the highlights of my day was talking with the other artists, trading stories about our history with the gallery.  Nina Weiss has been exhibiting there for 25 years!  Once again, I pinch myself to make sure I'm awake.  Sometimes I can't believe my good fortune to be exhibited there.

And a big shout out of thanks to my dear friend Jayne, who traveled with me and helped me with the schlepping of all those paintings and demo setup.  What would I do without you Jayne???

I hope you all will have a chance to visit this wonderful gallery.  Tell them Ann sent you!
