There are several artists whose bodies of works have only one or sometimes two pieces in my home. I wish I had more but . . . I do love what I do have. Clicking on photos will enlarge them.
David Kelly Carnahan's painting of a New Mexico winter is one of my favorite paintings. I've enjoyed this piece below for more than 50 years. I love the bleakness and yet completeness of the scene. I can see myself there. Never met Kelly but his painting continues to capture my imagination. I see new things in it all the time.
I hadn't heard about Gila Snowden when I first met Craig Nowak at a pre-art exhibit years ago now and fell in love with his art and in particular this painting of Gilda. Eventually I did actually meet Gilda and her husband and daughter in her studio which started my exploration into the art scene in Detroit. Gilda was a very much beloved artist and teacher, a Detroit and Michigan treasure.
