Lemon Tree by Jennifer Lommers
I have a very, very humble little art collection of my own. I try to purchase one original painting per year. I also have honored to have bartered with other artist friends to acquire a couple additional originals.
My collection of originals
Not to brag, but then again to brag, I am the grateful collector of an original Janice Rentz, Florence Prisant, and a Julie Ryan.
I have a small, bright landscape from my dear friend Janice. I have two nude watercolors painted by Florence. I treasure them both.
I also own a medium size madonna with doves, painted by Juli Ryan.
It feels like I am leaving one out, but without going to my storage boxes, I can’t recall. (don’t you HATE when that happens?)
I wish I could post of picture of these hanging on my wall, but since we moved and are still in the rental unit, I have them tucked safely away in storage. Like coccons, waiting to fly up onto my wall when we get settled in Colorado next year.
Wish List
Like all passionate collectors, I have a wish list of artists from which I want to aquire an original painting.
In no particular order, here is my wish list Santa :
Jennifer Lommers - hoping to purchase a lemon painting.
Pat DeVane Burns – hoping to purchase a cat painting someday)
Natasha Wescoat – hoping to purchase any of her original paintings while I can still semi-afford one.
Michel Keck – I have longed for an original from this “raw” artist for many years, can’t really afford it, but like to dream of them.
Robin Pedrero – I hope to collect an original blackbird painting from her.
Linda Blondheim - I have admired her work the longest, someday I will save up and purchase a small Florida landscape from her.
