Gloria Jean with Her Old Man and Sally Brown, a Friend Lady 1987

Georgia Speller's 1987 work, *Gloria Jean with Her Old Man and Sally Brown, a Friend Lady*, exemplifies the artist's signature style of bold, brightly colored figures. The work is painted on a large sheet of paper, with three individuals standing against a bright pink background. The figures are depicted in a simple, almost childlike style, with exaggerated features and bright colors. The work was created just a year before Speller’s death in 1988, and her work, which often deals with themes of family, friendship, and community, continues to be celebrated for its vivid colors and unique perspective.
