Lylas Kay ~ Dutch Art Gallery ~ by Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Lylas Kay"
Acrylic on canvas
9" x 12"

This whimsical figure is one in a series I've called "Lylas". I don't have a sister but share a close association with 7 members of Canvas by Canvas and I refer to them as "my sisters" and we often sign our emails with "lylas". (Love You Like A Sister). One in the group suggested I name the paintings from the group so my list is expanding to family and now includes other friends. This one is named for an online friend who is assisting with the gallery show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas where this painting will be found.

"Love You Like a Sister" Lylas Maddie

This whimsical figure is one in a series I've called "Lylas". I don't have a sister but share a close association with 7 members of Canvas by Canvas and I refer to them as "my sisters" and we often sign our emails with "lylas". One in the group suggested I name the paintings from the group so my list is expanding to family and other friends. This one is named for a family member.
I've painted 4 in a new series for the miniature section (under 14 in.) for the "Preservation is the Art of the City" show September 11-26, 2009 at the Community Arts Center, Fort Worth, TX, free and open to the public. Fifty local artists were juried to exhibit in this show and have the choice to exhibit one or up to 9 paintings each. A portion of the sales will help fund preservation programming for Historic Fort Worth. I hope you can visit the show.

Lylas is internet slag for "Love you like a sister". I enjoy painting these figures (angels, spirit women) and I have been influenced by the Robert Burridge workshops I've taken. See the other posts about these paintings on my blog here and here. Prices vary as to size and if they are painted on paper to be framed or painted on canvas ready to hang. Others Lylas can be seen on my website.
