Ensley Gardens Artist Thrilled with Birth of a Nation

Bert Tyrell picked up her newest acquisition today. She purchased a print of "Birth of a Nation" Wind Cave National Park by Barbara Summers Edwards available from SouthWind Gallery's last show "2009 Paint the Parks." Enamored with the original piece she came in weekly to "visit" the painting. "I love it so much I could just lick it, absorb it, take it into my soul!" Bert told me during one of those visits. That statement instantly endeared her to me and I  began anticipating her next "visit." What a way to describe the appreciation of art and the perfect reason to buy it!  It is always a pleasure to see the excitement from a person's soul directed at a singular piece of art.  She came to Framewoods immediately after we called and told her it was ready to be picked up and she was shaking with excitement as we unwrapped the piece for her approval. Then Clay and I drove over to help Bert hang her piece in the perfect spot! 


Bert is an accomplished artist herself and Clay and I was offered a sneak peek at her studio space and one of Bert's newest pieces, which is absolutely wonderful!  You too can have the opportunity to see her newest piece, along with over 30 area artist's work in our Ensley Gardens Plein Aire Exhibit on September 12, 2010 from 1:30 to 3:30 at the Garden House on Shawnee Lake. The sale of the artwork will benefit the Ensley Gardens endowment, allowing the continued care of one of Topeka's greatest Treasures.
