“Sunflowers #1” by Carole Beam. July Springs cover painting.
In celebration of all the bloomin’ happening everywhere this summer, we are pleased to devote our July cover to artist Carole Beam’s floral painting “Sunflowers #1.” Carol shares with us… “This painting was influenced by my early childhood. My maternal grandmother, Mrs. Alma Harris Tillery, had a beautiful flower garden… my earliest floral Iris, bachelor buttons and peonies, etc.
Another influence was when I studied art history in college. Beautiful colors of the great Impressionist Artist. This painting reflects both of these influences.”
Our deepest appreciation goes out to Carol for sharing her beautiful piece. Her work can be seen at American Art Gallery at 724 Central Avenue, in downtown Hot Springs. And thanks to Richard Stephens for his artistic cover design.
Until next month…
