Hydrangeas for Manet
by Jane McElvany Coonce

I sold a favorite still life of mine today.  Interestingly, it was bought by an old friend, Jan Cullen McDermott. Jan and I go way back.  I met her through a mutual friend, Chris Romanis Bury.  Jan bought a painting from me a few years ago.  Recently, she and her husband renovated their kitchen.  They have a beautiful empty gray wall that needed to be filled, so she contacted me.  I feel honored that out of all the wonderful artists in this area, she picked me.  I'm glad that a painting that I love found a good home.  It looks great in their "new" kitchen.
