Pat Cross Art SOLD at the Eggplant in the South Hills of Charleston.

In this original oil painting titled Marilyn Monroe Hibiscus, the colorful petals flair and flow with the beauty and grace of the actress who inspired the piece. Recently, it stirred the heart of a new buyer of Pat Cross art at the Eggplant in the South Hills of Charleston.

“When seeking a new bloom to paint, my eye caught a sunlit hibiscus bloom and immediately I thought of Marilyn Monroe,” says Pat Cross. “It’s curious to me, the impact of extraordinary beauty on us,” Pat adds, “whether a starlit sky, sparkling creek or clouds ablaze with color, there’s something uplifting about it.”

Often, Pat Cross reflects on the marvelous way that our Creator has gifted us with such wonders. “When I stir with awe, I feel loved,” says Pat Cross. Like many artists, Pat Cross feels compelled to share that experience with others with her paintings.
