A Breath of Spring... SOLD

"A Breath of Spring" by J Joy Nocifora ©2012  SOLD
10 x 10 oil on gallery wrap canvas

This painting, "A Breath of Spring" was my donation to The Memphis Botanic Garden's fundraiser, "INCOGNITO" January 20, 2012.  This was a fabulously fun evening with all participating artist dressed for the occasion... incognito!  No artist could sign their painting until the bidding stopped.  The theme was "buy what you love, not who you know."


I was thrilled to meet the lovely couple who bought my painting!  They were great supporters of this event by purchasing three paintings.  Over 80 artist participated and over 300 attended "Incognito."  All but two or three paintings sold and the walls were bare!  This fundraising event was such a success that it will be an annual event.  Bravo to all the artists, organizers and supporters!

      Awe... thanks, Linda. My broken right hand has been a painful journey and simple activities are laborious, but it will get better. I've missed you too and all my blogging friends. You can see a bit of the cast in the photo above.

    The colors on this painting are quite lovely! The overall quality is muted and subdued, but there are many saturated hues mixed in.

    I like this one Judy. Your paintings almost have the look of pastels.
