This small painting by Kaye Rogers, 1927-2009, is 5" high by 4" wide. Very colorful, abstract work. I am still researching her. This was a $1.00 thrift shop find, nicely framed and ready to hang. It look a bit askew in the mat as I had to mess with the perspective a bit to square it up to compensate for camera distortion. It is actually squarely centered in the mat. She was a local artist who resided in Atlanta, IL.
Thanks for loving my Kaye Rogers painting. Since this post, I found out that her first name was Kathleen, Kaye for short, the same as my late aunt!
