Hope For Spring

I want to thank everyone who came out to the opening of the Hope For Spring exhibition at the Neill-Cochran House Museum. It was a beautiful day and the lawn was the perfect place for an outdoor reception.

The exhibit includes over fifty works of art, in various styles, all depicting The State Flower Of Texas, the bluebonnet. It was interesting to see all the different styles represented, and in a variety of media including stained glass and fiber art as well as photographs, paintings, and drawings.

The Neill-Cochran House Museum is a historical home complete with original furnishings and decor. So, you’ll find the new artworks floating in a 19th century world, sometimes in unusual ways.

I located my painting “Bluebonnets” relaxing on the bed with a lovely piece of fiber art by Linda Miles.

This was a small, socially-distanced event, but I’m so grateful to be able to share my art with the community and to have the chance to celebrate together. I’m looking forward to more of these events in the future. Oh, how I miss big art openings with music, wine, and cheese plates!

The reception took place on the spacious lawn of the Neill-Cochran House Museum.

Hope For Spring is on display at the Neill-Cochran House Museum until April 11, 2021. Check their website for hours and admission information.

Next up is the drive-thru art event ARTic Expedition which is taking place April 2-4, and then I’ll be off to South Llano River State Park for my first camping trip of the year!
