Celebrating Joan Eardley

 

 

 

 

 

 

May 18th was the centennial of painter Joan Eardley's birth! I stumbled upon her work a couple of years ago. I've been going down the rabbit hole and studying her work ever since. I thought I'd tip my hat here with a sampling of some of my favorite pieces of her work (all found at the National Galleries Scotland.) 

I am hoping to visit Scotland some day and see where she worked and lived. For now, my books and the internet will have to do.

Slàinte mhath, Joan!
