She was a friend of my mother's, until my mother decided she needed to end the friendship. <br /><br />I recently found some artwork of her's and searched on her name to see if I could figure out if this artwork had any value. I would like to sell it.Mars Delappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-58292213929656359612022-08-25T17:13:09.961-07:002022-08-25T17:13:09.961-07:00What a fascinating and well researched story.

If you have a copy of the<br />catalog "The Spiritual in Art 1890-1985" from LACMA 1986-87, turn to<br />page 246-247 where there is a diagram by Jakob Bohme from his writing<br />"Forty Questions of the Soul". Mary was well read in spiritual<br />philosophy and probably familiar with his work. In the text is his<br />explanation of the diagram. If you don't have a copy, I'll bring you<br />my copy. We can have a cup of coffee and chew the fat about this. I<br />think you will be as surprised as I was. Also in her painting there<br />is a second bird head to the left. Have you been able to find any<br />other paintings of hers? Let me know when you have time. Do you have<br />the original painting where I might see it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-31932523495745054382022-08-24T18:39:47.444-07:002022-08-24T18:39:47.444-07:00Regarding oil painting materials….

Thin with water or non toxic mediums. Many brands including Winsor Newton and Holbein.<br /><br />Just a thought. <br /><br />Wonderful article….went to the Agnes Pelton exhibit in Palm Springs early this year and it was stunning. I was surprised at how much I liked her more conventional paintings ( landscapes for her bread and butter). They were full of life and light.Wickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15110226066459118491noreply@blogger.com
