Tuesday Voice: Posthumously Speaking 2

European Cityscape (detail)
Paintings out of longing

By Mary Alice Condley (1925-2007)

[Editor's Note: The three paintings shown today are in the collections of the artist's grandson Stephen Denham & granddaughter Jo Condley Snyder. We thank them for permission to use them.

Jo's favorite: "Grandma painted it just for me" (8x10)

Jo: "I forgot I had this one! Beautiful" (11.5x16)

European Cityscape (12x16)
Stephen: "I asked Grandma about this painting because
it was so different from what she normally painted.
She said she wanted to try something different.
I think a picture in Reader's Digest inspired it.
I have always loved it because she wanted to travel."
