Wrapping Paper Paintings

My email inbox has been slow lately. Everyone must be getting ready for the holiday.

There is a pile of Christmas presents that need to get wrapped. They’re blocking the door of my apartment, and spilling into the recycling bin. It’s a delightful mess, all the little contained and uncontainable bits. I said goodbye to good taste this year and purchased the single most tacky wrapping paper I could find. It has bright frosted cookies floating on a pink background. I am adding red and green ribbons, just to set it off.

Here’s a bit of clutter for your email inbox this morning: paintings of wrapping paper. The first two (above and below) are by painters I like very much. Zoey Frank and Susan Jane Walp. Two very not-dead lady painters.
