June Fine, an artist from Newton, Massachusetts, lost her vision completely around the time of her 80th birthday. The purpose of this blog is to give her friends a way to see her work.

In Memoriam

My mother named this watercolor painting "Autumn Woods", but this image with this title feels like an appropriate way to end this series of my mother's artwork, because today, December 14, 2014, would have been my brother Marshall Fine's 58th birthday.

Marshall came to his untimely death in August, 2014, while transporting our mother's art and slide photographs of her art from Boston to Memphis. His hope was to give her work a national exhibition.

The re-named "In Memoriam" begins this series (because blogs run backwards), and ends this series (because this is the final piece of work I have to post). Thanks to the magic of the internet and the blogosphere, our mother's work can have an international exhibition.
