Ninety-two-year-old Wellspring resident, Mary Moss is one spunky lady! Very active in our Connections program, she is a great lover of the arts, and has been kind enough to share some of her works with us here. A true painter at heart, Mary began her craft at the age of 25. "I stared with painting walls around the house," she shared, adding, "I suddenly felt like every wall needed a pop of color."
After painting her entire house, Mary decided that it was time to move on to something more challenging, and so she tried her hand at oil painting on canvas. "I've probably painted close to 50 pieces since then," she said. "My favorite things to paint are outdoor scenes with trees and waterfalls." The bridge picture above, she said, was something that she once saw in a photo and later painted from memory.
While she prefers to paint in solitude, Mary has become fond of creating with fellow Wellspring residents, including several pieces that will be displayed during our 2nd annual resident art auction on February 23 at 6:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
