The flowers of spring have come and mostly gone. Summer is almost upon us here in Tennessee. For the last few weeks on Miriam's Instagram and Facebook accounts, we've been featuring a sample of her works with flowers.
Many of her works with flowers are not just about the flowers themselves, but also tell a story. For example, in the painting above you'll find an old checkerboard that was used by the artist's family at their lake house, her paintbrush used to paint this work, a newspaper and coffee cup from her morning ritual, and a flip-flop pointing to the transition from spring to summer.
We know some of you don't check social media accounts regularly, so we've put together an online gallery of many of her flower works (both sold and still available) with flowers as the subject here:
Back to the flip-flop. Many of you are gearing up for the beach (though some of you are headed in the opposite direction--to the mountains!). Check her Facebook and Instagram (@miriammcclungart) pages as we'll be featuring beach art over the next few weeks!
Frank and Miriam
