"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul." - Edgar Allan Poe

Also in the Fall, my painting "Sunday Silver" was selected for the Attleboro Museum National Juried Exhibit  Possessions: Prized and Otherwise".
This painting represents the nostalgia I feel for the many entertaining and hilarious Sunday dinners with my husband's family when my children were small and we visited from NJ.  Such fun times!
We inherited the silver coffee pot along with some of the other items  in this painting and when I set up this still life I felt it was a tribute to my mother-in-law's sense of family tradition and also to my own mother, whose favorite flowers were lilies. Whenever I look at this piece I feel the powerful and continued connection to these two wonderful women, and those special moments in my life.
