Vangi loves all flowers and grows a variety in her yard in Pittsboro, NC.  I know that she grows sunflowers and also chrysanthemums.  Flowers are common in oriental painting.  She says, "All over the world chrysanthemums bloom in the fall.  Their spectacular gold, orange, and maroon colors defy the frost and the colder weather still to come.  Because of this chrysathemum symbolize righteousness in oriental painting.  On a cold winter day, it's good to remember . . .

Vangi Cathcart "Chickadee with Roses" at the Joyful Jewel

Vangi Cathcart
"Chickadee with Roses"
8"X 10"
Vangi's crisp brush strokes and vibrant black ink, blue, green and red watercolors make this
   painting come to life for the observer. The "Sumi" style used also brings calm and serenity      
for the artist in us all. This painting would make a wonderful gift for that special someone.
