Description:
Original "Happy Cat" Whimsical Oil Painting Framed Vintage Marion Collins MA CO. Art FUN swinging playful cat that was specifically painted for her grandson!"Born in Lexington, she became known as one of Kentucky’s pre-eminent portrait artists. She later moved her home and studio to Virginia where she took up the cause of preserving and revitalizing the picturesque little town of Appalachia. To raise funds and awareness she organized and served formal multi-course dinners in the ballroom of the stately but abandoned Appalachia Hotel. She painted murals, oversaw landscape improvements and donated long-term architectural plans for reviving the town’s quaint main street and attracting visitors. On moving to Knoxville to be near several of her children and adored grandchildren she discovered the little house that would become her most rewarding remodeling project. The grounds too had endless potential and neighbors helped celebrate every stage of progress. In later years, up until the week of her death, Marion returned to her drafting table where she created stacks of drawings of dreamy houses and idealized communities. These she left as gifts to everyone."Measures approx 15 1/4" x 12 1/4" including frame. Artwork itself is 11" x 14".VERY GOOD Vintage Condition with minor surface wear and a few marks on frame SEE PHOTOPlease see all photos for best descriptionThanks for viewing!
