..that also makes me think of the heart drawn on JB's hand...
I connect those cherries to a lot of negativity also, & those cherries at night, kind of freaked me out. & I wonder who the goddess was...but even though she copied those paintings, I still think there's something there, because something about those particular paintings grabbed her, & she didn't let go. Her sister's name is Polly, so I'm thinking Polly's Rooster might be her husband, & Cocky Doodle Dude, is John. It seems that she took the idea, & added a little something. But you're right, what she might've considered whimsical, leaves me a little cold. I don't know anything about art, but I would think that even if she tried, she couldn't keep her subconscious from popping up, in unexpected places. I may be way off, but I get the feeling that she thought death purified Jon Benet, & that she was satisfied with her family unit being just the 3 of them. Except for Unfinshed Garden, I didn't 'get' any longing, & I'm not sure I got it there. That could've been Patsy wanting another child. because unfinished seems like an odd choice of words, (sounds hard, IMO), to describe losing a child. incomplete maybe? & wasn't Patsy a journalism major? If so, I would think the words would be just as important to her, as the art, & I'm sure she chose them very carefully...even if subconsciously."'symbolize something new, pure & pristine...something brought back to its original condition, like a lovingly restored classic car"
dodie,I also found that was interesting,I always connect cherries with sexuality or lust.
Knowing what we know happened to JonBenet and all that talk about her hymen I don't think if I were Patsy I would be painting Cherries and I definitely would not find them "delightful",those were my thoughts when I saw the cherry paintings but after you posted the other meaning I'm thinking all her paintings seem to be about restoring innocence.They are completely void of anything negative ,maybe that's why they seem so empty.Maybe they are meant to turn back time and return everything to its pure condition.But they do not convince me.
most definitely!..that also makes me think of the heart drawn on JB's hand...
If she was symbolizing restored innocence, I can't help but wonder if she meant restoring her family to the way it was before Jon Benet. Seriously, IMO, some of those paintings give off a very content vibe."'symbolize something new, pure & pristine...something brought back to its original condition, like a lovingly restored classic car"

I think this painting entitled "hope" is interesting,the description reads "An Angel Contemplates the Promises of Eternity" and I can't find a painting she may have copied like it (which doesn't guarantee it doesn't exist)
The angel stands backwards and carries a broken heart between her wings.Inside of the "eternity" block the angel is just a shadow facing forward and is holding the broken piece of the heart.
I definitely think PR saw eternity as a means to mend a broken heart and to restore purity,wholesomeness.IMO she had that believe already before JonBenet died.
It kind of strengthens my belief that she sort of romanticized death and instead of seeing it as the horrible end she saw it as hope and new beginning.
I remember a painting she had done of her children sitting at the beach with their backs to the viewer, looking out at the ocean.

The one on top is the original artwork that was copied by PR.
Actually, it is quite common for artists to copy other artists' work as practice in honing their own craft. However, it is totally unacceptable for artists to copy work and claim it as their own. As was previously mentioned, it may be that the people who posted PR's work on the website are not even aware that they are copies. I know little about the law in this area, but it may be as long as the pieces are not offered up for sale it's fine to show them. I would think, however, that regardless, it is the ethical thing to do to credit the original artist.Yep. That's it... I have a framed print of the original work...Sorta makes me sad to see it now & think about JBR's mom ripping it off....as her own...
the original is most definitely, the better work, but I did read in one of the links, that the original artist doesn't hold any animosity towards Patsy.Yep. That's it...

Replying to myself here, I guess, but:

I see nothing on the PR site that indicates the original artists gave permission for their copied work to be sold.
making money off Patsy's notoriety. shame shame. I think her work is good, but you're right, it's a little pricey, especially for the animal pictures. I wouldn't think there'd be a market for those, at all. I do like, 'Home Again', & 'Summer Storm', but I don't like 'Hope' or 'The Goddess' at all...& like I said earlier,'Cherries Delight' freaked me out. I'm not sure how I'd feel about them hanging in my house.ok, so if the issue has been in the media, then I'm going to assume that the person who has them up on that site for sale is aware that they are copies.
and they are charging a pretty penny too - for unoriginal artwork
the unmitigated gall
Except they are ripping off artists. Would you care if someone went into your bank account, without your permission, and took money at will...even if it was supposedly going to a charity? It's the same thing. And the Ramseys have had "foundation" troubles before.If the money really goes to charity I don't care.
Ugh.......there was a video about the case I watched lately where she was showing lots of her paintings but I forgot which video now
Maybe I'll stumble upon it and post the link.
