Open Gate in Springtime

June Fine died on February 14th, 2016, and we had a memorial service for her this past Saturday, May 28th. Newton Highlands was beautiful and in full bloom that day. While going through her papers, I found this lovely photo of a springtime painting that I hadn't put on this blog. Now it is the first painting you will see when you come to this blog. The gate is open, and you are welcome to enter.

The blog is in reverse chronological order, as blogs are, so make sure to got to the bottom and click on "older posts" to see more of her paintings. Many of the first--or last--pieces of art in this blog are from when she had such limited vision that she could only work in fabric collage. There are many, many, many paintings that follow the collage pieces and the children's book. To see them, click on the entries from 2014 in the blog archive (it is at the very bottom of each long series of posts).
