Still My Heroin! Aunt Ann

My Aunt Ann has been my heroin for years and she's still living up to the challenge.

I just received a newspaper clipping and accompanying letter from her.  She's 89 years young.  Yes young! AND

She's in a wheelchair no longer capable of running, walking or using her legs for much but a lap.  

Does that get her down?  No!

There's a big full color spread in the Valdosta Daily Times. Monday, January 30, 2006 - Page 18; “Love of Painting - Artist finds peace in paints” by Dean Poling.

You can check out some of her paintings:

And the add for her show:

Her show is at the Brooks County Price-Campbell Foundation Gallery Lowndes/Valdosta Arts Commission Gallery.  Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts, 527 N Patterson St.  Free Admission 10 - 6 Tues - Thurs; 10 - 4 Fridays and Saturdays; 1-4 Sundays.

That is totally awesome!  I'm so proud of her.

This lady was and still is a ball of fun spitfire; soft spoken yet ready for orneriness at the drop of a hat.  She's a deeply devoted Christian whose paintings reflect her inner peace.  She's a country girl that lets the love of nature flow freely into her art.  She's a wonder with critters.  Must be the training of learning muscles and structure from her hair dressing training days; I don't know what it is really but she's good.

Good Onya Aunt Ann.  Keep on slinging those oils!
