RoundFlower

If your wall is made of “PurdySturdy” (I think it’s on sale at Home Depot. If not, try Lowe’s), have I got a painting for you!

First, let me ask you a question or two.

Remember being told to look both ways before crossing the street? So you did.

When your scrunched up face was straightened out by your grandma’s gruff admonishment, “If you don’t stop, your face will stay that way forever!” you probably quit until she wasn’t looking, right? Yes you did.

Not one of my elders ever said, “Judy, do not paint on a round, 3/4” thick piece of plywood or it will weigh way too much, will be definitely difficult to frame and some people may not know where the top or sides or bottom are. So I did.

The hardware was attached prior to showing RoundFlower in a one woman show in Alameda, California a couple of years ago. So hang it did.

The piece has lived in a lonely, dusty place since that exhibition due to extensive paintus interruptus brought on by a vile visitor named cancer. But it’s out of that place now and all cleaned up. I told it to hang proudly. So it did.

Does.
