Art Cards

 

I haven't done any art recently, so for Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room I show you some beautiful art cards I found at one of the local nurseries. All of these cards were created by Marion Rose Stern, a local artist. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about her and the staff at the nursery couldn't tell me much either.

I'm tremendously enjoying her art. She works in both watercolor and acrylics.

Her acrylics:

"Cedar Waxwing"

"Burro and Butterfly"

This card reminds me of our sweet neighborhood donkey that passed away in January 2025.

A favorite of mine:

"The Raven"

And these are the watercolors:

"Red Avadavat"

"Lucy, on a Stroll, in the Fog"

You bet, that I love this one. Kibeau was orange and white, but he had spots, not stripes.

"Notorious Bee Catcher"

And this is the watercolor card, that first drew my attention to this artist. I wish I could paint like that.

"Yelo Moon"

Whenever I am at the nursery I look through Stern's cards, always with an idea in my head to whom I will send them. The nursery will soon close for the season, but I hope there will be more cards next year, when they open again at the beginning of March.

Die Bilder sind alle sehr schön. Schade, dass du nicht mehr über die Künstlerin erfahren konntest. Mein Favorit ist ganz klar der Rabe auf dem Baumstumpf. Vielleicht, weil er ein gern gemaltes Motiv ist. Immer wieder faszinierend.
Herzlichst Anette

I would have hard time choosing which card I would like best.

The cards are wonderful, Carola, and I might have a hard time deciding to mail them away and instead keep a couple to frame.

The cards are beautiful, Carola, and it is not surprising that you were drawn to them. To be surrounded by beauty in all things is the very essence of a good life. I hope that you will learn more about the artist, too. She deserves recognition. Many hugs - David
