The Topeka Art Guild is very proud to announce that two of its own members paintings are now included in the Mulvane Art Museum Collection. One is Shirley Akers’ Home on the Range which is a 24 by 48 acrylic inspired by their own cattle from when they owned a farm and various road trips through Kansas.
The other was by Linda Humphries entitled Hold the Rain/Riverside. It is an oil on a 24 x 48 canvas. Kansas road trips and other travel inspired it. Linda’s artwork develop on their soon after starting them. What she first envisions is seldom the outcome. This particular painting was inspired by Lawrence’s riverfront and Topeka’s riverside.
