Description
While visiting relatives in Indianola, IA, the balloon Festival was on and of course we had to take photos. Then Phyllis just HAD to paint a scene in which there were some of the beautiful balloons! We were staying at the motel across from this lovely farm and I had already taken a photo of the farm before the balloons went up. The photos of the balloons were taken at various, other locations. I decided that in my painting some of the balloons would be landing in this field or near this lovely farm. The FAA Watermark will not appear on your beautifully finished Fine Art America products.***

HI MIKE. Thank you for commenting on "Happy Iowa Balloons". We loved seeing the Balloons in Iowa and I painting this of the Balloons over an Iowa Farm that was near the area at the time. Friends loved the painting and had it over their Fireplace mantel for years. The 2 friends died within 1 week of each other and we don't know where the painting went. Possibly to an auction. We have no idea. And their son wanted the painting! Have a happy time in Colorado! Smiles,

Thank you, Marv, so very much. I had loaned this to friends who loved having it over their fireplace. They died within 2 days of each other. We have no idea if the painting was auctioned off or what happened to it. 😟

Thank you, Joe, so very much. Some dear friends had hung this above their mantel for several years. They both passed away within weeks of each other. Their son wanted the painting but it was apparently sold at auction, somewhere. I really feel the loss of it and our friends. They and the painting were very special.
