By Mary Alice Condley (1925-2007)
[Correction: The artist's granddaughter has informed us that her father doesn't think Mary did the shovel painting. (May 27)]
[Editor's Note: The artist's granddaughter Suzanne Dawn Condley recently brought to my attention that her father, my nephew Jeffrey Condley, Mary's second of two sons, has a number of his mother's paintings, several of which were done on hand tools – the first such paintings of hers that I was aware of.
The twenty-third of Mary's paintings appeared here on March 3. That painting, which we titled "Homestead," had hung in the home of our recently departed sister Flo Elowee Story (June 14, 1930 - May 5, 2015), whom we the survivors hold in loving memory.
Twenty-nine (May 27) paintings by Mary Alice Condley have now been shown on Moristotle & Co.]
