My artwork created from the memories of my childhood all in honor of those individuals that I admired and was a part of my early and informative years…

“The Birth of Cotton”
“Dreaming”
“Setting Sun in the Cotton Fields”
“Little Houses in the Field”
“Aunt Francis House”
“Aunt Francis”
When I painted Aunt Francis it was from memory as there were no photographs; she was an incredible lady that lived with my family until I was twelve years old. My father took care of her until her death in 1952. She was an important part of our lives. The painting does not do justice to this lovely woman of grace who was born in northern Alabama in 1854.
All of the paintings are 20X20 Acrylics and painted as a collection in 2012

Is this the style dubbed ‘Naive’? Whichever, it’s delightful to my eye with its defined forms and flamboyant colours. You’re multi-talented, a wonderful gift.

Naïve…how kind you were with your choice of word instead of saying that I was inexperienced. Naïve, no it is more in the Americana Style and using the vision of a child to bring the hidden memory to the canvas. It is a work of love not one expecting rave reviews or compliments, a collection that is private about my history. Thank you for viewing and commenting, I am pleased that you did “like” the pieces. I hope you stop by again. Ann

No Ann, I know a little bit about art (a dangerous thing) but I recognised similarities in form and I’ve just now discovered on online that Naïve is actually 18th century North American in origin: http://www.ginagallery.co/asp/WhatIsNaiveArt.asp
