Mary Middleton died from a tragic accident the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. She was vivacious and addictive in her causes. She was very thrifty, loving to ask the question about her latest fashion statement, "Look at this, how much do you think it cost? One dollar!"

Fountain Square Oil Painting by Tom Lohre Oil painting of dancers on a beach by Tom Lohre Beach dancers painting oil on board by Tom Lohre

Fountain Square XXVI, 16" x 12", Oil on canvas, July 22, 2011
Another in a long line of fountain paintings this one started in the spring while Helen was still in school. The painting will be a stepping off point for the next series of abstract colorful paintings done in the varnish manner.

Beach Dancers, 12" x 16", Oil on board, July 26, 2011
The culmination of a life of study, this dancer motif is universal. Stuck in a rut for years painting what was in front of me as if I could make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. This painting may look simple but it took my painting robot to teach me to simplify. The steps are complex but the painting is easy. Working up the grace of the figures is what takes the longest. Woman needs to be more than a shapely figure. The shape has to have strong confirmation like a horse. I can run with this. I developed this motif while finishing the last fountain painting. Where I did it to step off from, I stepped completely off the fountain motif, halleluiah.
