Art show in Opelousas in late 2004

Joann is one of 5 artists displaying their art at this show.

Joann participated in numerous art shows and won numerous awards. Here are a series of photos from the last major show where she showed a good number of her works. She is already ill, and I think she is undergoing chemotherapy.

 

In early December 2004, Gail and Joann pose in front of a couple of Joann’s paintings.

 

 

Displayed all around the room are some of Joann’s favorites, including a 3 of her Giverny paintings, Endangered Species, Yellow Gate, Poppies on the way to Chester, Spring Lake, Daffodils, A white sailing ship, and View from Ponce’s Villa. At a show, Joann was in her element. A few more paintings, and you get a sense of her body of work at a show.

The photos were shot with my old Mavica–a low resolution digital camera (high tech for me at that time). But these photos provide excellent evidence of Joann’s place in our community as an artist and a teacher.
