This one needs to be saved

Artist Challenge: The Stories of Hands inspired by Valerie Jardin ( https://valeriejardinphotography.com/hands)
Six Word Story challenge 126

I was looking at some Christmas card fronts that I saved with the idea of repurposing them. I noticed there was a signature on this one and when I got to looking for it on the internet, I found that the artist, Kathy Glasnap, had a shop and studio in Door County WI and had died in 2015. This one may be framed and kept by me.

i do that, too! i save the fronts of cards if they appeal so much to me and repurpose them. i was just looking at her paintings during lunch as i was looking for painting ideas. nice depiction in black and white. aces!

[Call me Joe]

Beautiful capture 👌❤️

[Thom Mitchell]

I looked her up, too, out of curiosity, since I'm originally from Michigan. Kathy lived in Door County, Wisconsin (WI), rather than Michigan (MI). We have a couple of art works by local artists who died far too young (cancer in both cases). Nice to remember Kathy this way!

Let you know I’m not the only one that does that. I will confess to having more cards than I have ideas for! I love this entry for the artist challenge. Itis perfect

[Kathy]

@rhoing My bad. I knew that because I visited the peninsula once. (Loved it) Thanks for correcting me and I'll correct the original comments.

[Kathy]

@summerfield What a coincidence. My friend makes cards and I had cut them off for her, but somehow never gave her this one.Thank you Vikki.
@joemuli Thank you Joe.
@grammyn Thanks so much Katy. I have all this year's cards to go through yet.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's very pretty- I would have kept this one too! This tells a beautiful story with your hands on the photo.

[GaryW]

Love the picture. How cool to find the signature and the history of the artist.

[Shutterbug]

That is a beautiful card. I love hand portraits. This is a double. Very nice.

[KWind]

Lovely image!!

[Wylie]

A terrific match for the challenge, well done!

[Brigette]

I like this

[Kathy A]

Great photo and such a lovely card. I collected card fronts for years but then tossed them out as I had no idea what to do with them

[Issi Bannerman]

Super image Kathy, and I like your idea too.

[Corinne]

That’s a superb composition !

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely card and capture of your hands.

[JackieR]

I thought it was an @summerfield painting you're holding. This is a fabulous self portrait of your hands, must have been quite a composition challenge. FAV

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - wah!!!

[william wooderson]

This image speaks volumes.

[Margo Sayer]

I used to be an avid keeper of postcards and the like. I'd like to think that l'm much more selective than hitherto…yet somehow, however much l vow that l won't keep cards, photos etc…l can't bring myself to part with them.

[Margaret Brown]

A lovely image. Well worth keeping

[Jennie B.]

I save Christmas cards too and then make gift tags out of them for the next Christmas. This one is very nice.

@s4sayer I remember those words every time I shuffle them around and try to find good places for them where I will remember where they are when I finally do decide to do something with them.
@craftymeg Thank you Meg. Glad you agree.
@jb030958 Good idea Jennie. Thank you.
