" Hi Marcy!" are the beautiful words I woke up to, the morning of Sunday July 1, 2013, 2 1/2 months after Mom passed Sunday May 5, 2013. The dream was a gift from God, that allowed me to feel again.
Today I share a love about my mom, Marcy Madison, the artist of these original oil paintings, The Madison Collection. Mom could do anything she put her mind to. She especially loved gardening. She would say " I could grow you!" hence the many florals she chose to paint. However this came late in life, close to retirement from working 40 plus years as a registered nurse.
Mom was very hard on herself, she poured countless hours into her artwork. Striving to show the shadows, light reflection and depth of color in the various paintings. Mom studied under the direction of instructor and artist Jim Todd for ten years. Mom would say, " Jim said, 'you have to paint one inch every hour' - isn't that crazy?!"
I hope the paintings are enjoyed by many and inspire others to know, at any age, anyone can do their heart's desire! Proceeds from her artwork, will help fund an endowed scholarship at Missouri Baptist University. -Marcy Hart (daughter)
