Milledgeville Artist Vicki Hammerschmidt-Dent

I was at a party when I first saw one of Vicki's paintings and I just instantly fell in love with it. I wanted one from the moment I saw it. My mom has painted a couple of beautiful pictures and my mother in law has painted many beautiful pictures and I can't draw stick people. As a young woman I didn't know or care much about art. Now I look for art that speaks to me or touches me in some way. I have found that when I know the heart of the artist I am the most attracted to the art.

This painting now hangs in my office where I get to see it every single day. I also purchased one for my parents to go in their new house, but I haven't given it to them yet, so you don't get to see it.

On the other hand I also got one for my mother in law, which I am about to give her so you will get to see that one. I'm also gonna give you the link to Vicki's Facebook page where you can go and friend her and see more of her art. She has some beautiful bright colorful and fun ones and some that are just nature in her imagaination. Do you see the woman in this one? I immediately saw her. She's complex and complicated... like me.

This is the painting I got for my mother in law. It reminded me of her. The bright pink flowers are the spots of joy and life that are so much of the the kind of happy here and happy there that my mother in law has lived. She sprinkles joy and happiness whereever she ventures in life and very rooted and down to earth. Still was what Vicki named this painting and I just love it. I am now in San Diego and my mom in law has seen her brithday gift, so you can see it now. And if you want to see more of Vicki's work I hope you'll hope over to meet her on facebook.

Enjoy your day.

I hope to buy more of Vicki's art to gift to some friends in the future. I just know they will love it.
