Using paint to say something…tell a story and capture that beautiful moment.

FRESH OFF MY EASEL

Greetings! Spring is here and I am just loving all the exciting things going on in May.  I got to visit the Shain Gallery and deliver these four large Marsh paintings and just loved the Gallery.  Such beautiful art there and I am thrilled to be in the Low Country Show that opens, Thursday, May 9th.  Everywhere I turned was eye candy and such talented artists all over the place!  Y'all come on out-would love to see you there!  Shain Gallery contact info is 2823 Selwyn Ave in Charlotte, NC  at 704.334.7744.

The painting above is Sunrise Over Marsh and is from several studies I had done painting Plein Air.  Loved that sun popping through and just love all the warm colors in this one. 

Below is another favorite with  a wonderful Low Country feel!  So glad it is at Shain Gallery also and just love gorgeous cloud reflections in the marsh.   I could paint those all day long!  Hope you like it too.

Next one down is really special.  I hope Serenity captures for you that peaceful timeless feel that marshes bring to me.  Has a warm rich color palette that just sings of a spring time Marsh. 

Lastly, everyone loves a Silver Lining and this one is just all about a wonderful composition of clouds across the sky with gorgeous light and shadow.  Love the little abstract feel in the marsh below.

Monthly Spotlight:

Copper Pot with Peaches Study,  16 x 20, Oil on Linen, NFS

Here's why!   I just returned for a 5 day advanced with Sherrie McGraw and Jacqueline Kamin and it was intensive higher level learning at it's best.   I loved painting this still life and the copper was just a blast to learn to paint.  Love painting my own peaches and hydrangeas from my yard too!  Keeping this one as a study and memory of all that I learned! 

 Here's What's Blooming:

It's May and gorgeous flowers are everywhere!  Love painting them and then can have them everyday!  Y'all don't forget the gift of Art for Mother's Day or any special occasion coming up!!

Georgia Bulldawgs and Collegiate Corner!

This Georgia Alumna/Former Coach and UGA IX have this brand new Dawg for you!  This Dawg is waiting along with lots of other paintings in my Georgia/Collegiate Collection on my website.  That new Georgia graduate would love something special as a graduation gift to treasure.  If you have something else in mind, please email me at [email protected]

TEE IT UP! 

Spring means time to tee it up!     Augusta National, Azalea, Number 13 would be an amazing gift for that golfer. Below is a favorite course of mine too- Seaside at Sea Island, GA...Early Morning Round, 11 x 14 Oil on Linen.

Commission Corner

Finally get to share a favorite new commission that I had the pleasure of painting!  They are so happy and I had a blast painting all those gorgeous horses!  They had wonderful light and shadow and I love this painting!  Would love to work with you too!
