Annie Lee's "Blue Monday" was one of her most iconic works, depicting a weary Black woman hunched over her washing basin on Monday morning. The painting resonated deeply with African American audiences who recognized this scene of domestic labor, drawing from Lee's own experiences as a single mother who worked multiple jobs to support her family. The artwork's emotional authenticity and relatable subject matter helped establish Lee as a significant voice in African American art.

Lee created "Blue Monday" while working as a chief clerk for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, where she spent 23 years before pursuing art full-time. The painting's success led to widespread reproductions and helped launch her career as a professional artist, enabling her to open her own gallery and art company. Though she had no formal art training, Lee's ability to capture everyday moments in Black life with dignity and humor made "Blue Monday" and her subsequent works highly sought, particularly among middle-class African American collectors.

Lee's work was categorized as "Black Americana" because it documented and celebrated authentic aspects of African American life and culture, particularly from the mid-to-late 20th century. Her paintings captured the genuine experiences, traditions, and daily rituals of Black Americans, preserving these moments as historical artifacts that spoke to the Black community's struggles and resilience. Unlike earlier problematic "Americana" depictions of Black life, Lee's work presented these scenes from an insider's perspective, with dignity, understanding, and often touches of knowing humor that resonated deeply with Black audiences while also educating wider audiences about authentic African American experiences. 

This work of art is available framed or unframed. The framed version ships framed and ready to hang in a black 2-inch frame. Perfect for any fan of African American art or the late great Annie Lee.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
