Nancy's Gallery

Today we popped by my Mom and Dad's briefly
on our way back home from grocery shopping
and got a chance to see what my mom  

 has been up to.  You see she has not been feeling
so great the past years and not really felt well
enough to paint.

However today she showed me some paintings she
has been working on since she has been feeling
a bit better and I have just got to share them  with
you along with others she has painted
over the years.  I am so amazed by her talent
and she really is very humble about it,
no, actually, she does not believe she is
really really good.

She started painting late in life just like her mother,
who also was a very talented artist.

Well see if you agree with me and please do click on the
picture to see them larger and the detail she puts
into them.

I showed you in my very 

first blog post 

 this picture which she gave us that I adore.

(apparently she whipped it up in about 15 minutes).

and the technique she used in this

one is so interesting

and this is one of my favourites with one of my

favourite colours, turquoise.

this one is also stunning

I have a slightly different and smaller painting she did for us of this beautiful
 tuscan scene  which is in our front porch but she changed up the 

sky in this 2'x3' version.  Aren't the colours just spectacular?

A cozy cottage with a different colour interpretation is so cute 

and makes you want to peak inside, doesn't it?
Sorry the glass it is behind has blurred the photo  a bit.

Another of my favourites in it's simplicity.
Maybe she will sell this one to me.

Little girl by the river, I also have this one she gave me.

Sorry the picture didn't turn out to well.

So hard to paint such detail in all one colour 

but she masters it.

I can't imagine the patience it takes to 

paint such detail. 

This is one of Mom's favourites as

it reminds her of her grandchildren Colton and Jacy.

 This is my, "little girl by the river" she gave me and if you look

closely  you can see her, she is wearing red.

She masters trees beautifully.

I love the simplicity of this one.

Another of her favourites

She even makes the simple things like her  suburban backyard

fence and some rocks  in the winter time when she lived

in Calgary look interesting

Looks like the stunning Lake Louise in Alberta 

doesn't it. 

and I will buy this one too when she lets me. I love the shadows and the

use of orange and blue and white.

and I think this one is one of her finest. She blessed us with it

and it touches me especially because the lady resembles my

younger sister  Catherine so very much.

Mom I am so very proud of what you have 

accomplished 

and  thank you  for the beautiful pieces of your work you have 

graciously given us. They make me smile every time I look 

at them. I love you.

hugs
