Here is a painting by cousin Millie Howell from Philadelphia, MS. It is one of 6 of hers that I own that are currently in her retrospective painting exhibition at the Meridian Museum of Art through March 7. Most are rather large, at least 3' x 4'. Click on the URL below to see many others in her show, if interested. I took the photos quickly at the reception, and are not "dead on" as they should be, but you can see what wonderful work she has done. She is a colorist, and a painter's painter. These are abstract expressiionist paintings in acrylic. Millie is in one of the photos in a red jacket giving her gallery talk. Another shows her husband Boots, son John, and daughter-in-law Diana. They are standing in front of 2 of her paintings that I own. I really like the one on the right called FAT CATS, showing 2 cats on a table eating fish and lobsters. The painting on the left is her son John as a thespian, which he is. That painting reminds me greatly of one of Picasso's earlier paintings.
