I recognized this artist's work right away, even from a distance. This touching portrait is painted on a fabric that is finer than canvas giving the work a very delicate appeal. Image size is 10 1/4" x 13 1/4" in a very handsome green and gold frame. FREE SHIPPING! Note: This is one of two similar paintings I am offering by this artist. Nadine Campbell Hoskins, born in 1912 was a self-taught artist and Coral Gables jet-setter who was a staple of Miami Herald social columns in the 1960s and '70s. She began her career at the Lowe Art Museum's clothesline sales. New artists could hang paintings on clotheslines. Her paintings are in [Lowe's] permanent collection. Hoskins had a studio at Douglas Entrance -- the historic Gables building that's now a luxury office complex -- then a second next to the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Hoskins exhibited at galleries in New York, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale. She also wrote, once selling a travel story to Vogue magazine. A '60s-era brochure notes that "her paintings are in the collections of such well-known personalities as [the late actors] Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, and Victor Borge,'' the late pianist/comedian. Hoskins spent her later life for several months a year living in Portugal where she continued to paint there and had exhibits at the U.S. Embassy. She was buried next to her husband in Cascais, Portugal in 2010
