A New Favorite

In our Stone House, we have linen white walls and grained wood mouldings (very neutral).  A corner in the parlor needed some more color.  I think this solves the problem nicely.

The artist, Lee Udall Bennion, has a unique style easily recognizable to her admirers and to collectors of her art work.  Her medium is oil paint and she also makes and paints her own frames.  This scene portrays Lee and her youngest daughter and was painted 20 or so years ago.  Can you feel the artist's connection to the piece?  A. looks content and safe in her mother's arms, doesn't she?

It was a birthday present for Mr. City Home and I think it will stay on the wall for a good while.

You can see more of Lee's work here.
