A Watercolor and A Wedding by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

Watercolor Framed
28" x 20"
My daughter's painting is finally framed. I ordered the frame from Frames by Mail where you get it all, frames, mat, hangers, plexi - everything but the wire and you put it together. All you need is the dimensions for the work to be framed and start doing the math on the site and even I can figure it out so I'm sure you can. The actual framing part goes better if you can get some holding help. But the real reason for the post is her wedding, Saturday, November 7, 2009 at the Lone Oak Winery.

and everyone had been patient for photos but now it was silly face time. The weather was beautiful and it was a perfect day for a wedding or a watercolor.

"He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not"

24 x 18 in.
Acrylic figurative painting with collage

Love is in the air in the metroplex. Does your life experiences influence your paintings? Mine do and this summer I've heard a lot of boyfriend, romance, wedding and shower talk and visited some bridal stores, bought some silvery paper and ribbons and searched my closet for appropriate clothes for these occasions.

My 1954 graduating class met Friday night in De Leon and the talk still turns to old loves and graduation dates and it seems we never stop picking those daisy petals and wondering "He Loves me, He Loves Me Not."

This painting will be in the 2010 Fine Art in Dallas Engagement Book, a comprehensive book of local artists' work and the book will go to homes, art galleries, realtors and there will be scheduled exhibitions and artist events during the year. The City Art Calendar will be available in the fall and I will keep you posted.
