I didn't have as many as I had hoped to have, but managed to fill in the gaps with some old stuff. It's at the Petersburg Regional Art Center--the Old Butterworth's Furniture on Sycamore Street.
Here is a slightly blurred photo of my newest--sent to the printer's when it was still wet. I also did a photographic "Portrait of the Artist." The painting with the girls is titled "Goddesses of the Rose Garden."
As of July, 2009, I changed the name of this painting to "Tir-nan-Og"--Irish for "Country of the Young." Tir-nan-Og is a place visited by the Irish hero, Oisin (pronounced OO-sheen), when he married the lovely and immortal Niamh (pronounced NEE-ahv). Residents of Tir-nan-Og are young and beautiful forever. There are no wars. There is no sickness. There is plenty of love, beauty, music, harmony, and dancing. No one suffers. Tir-nan-Og is what the botanical gardens express, and that expression is enhanced by these lovely young ladies, made immortal in my photographs and in this recent painting.
