Art Updates...

The writing gene apparently did not rub off on me, which is probably why I don't post more...yep, that's my excuse. Maybe I need to write less and post more pictures.

I've been working on quite a few pieces since I last posted here, so I'm going to update everyone!

Let's see...I finished a charcoal drawing of a local dairy cow... this is 16" x 20" on pastelbord...

I finally finished the Lily of the Valley (it's a Flower of the Month for May). It's 8" x "10" on Stonehenge paper...and yes, it was white paper that I painstakingly darkened. (Reminder to myself that there are other papers to choose from!)

I also finished the tiger lilies here, that I believe is on Aquabord (Ampersand). It's 10" x 8" and is framed without glass.

The poinsettias are actually small - 4" x 4", almost coaster size, which is exactly what my family thinks it should be...

Another flower of the month, this time for June...an antique rose.

This is a 16" x 20" pastel of tropical flowers...I keep forgetting what they're called. I can't decide whether or not to leave it as is, with part of it incomplete, or work it a little more. That's why I haven't framed or named it. 

And finally, the autumn berries - on aquabord, 7" x 5", framed without glass. (I may have already added this to a post, but maybe not?)

I do have another colored pencil flower I'm working on...I promise to add this as I work instead of posting the finished product.

Originals AND Prints Available

Yes, prints have been available for a while...but since I recently sold a print from here, I thought I would update my blog with the links to the right. You can order a print, choose your own mat and frame, have it printed on a canvas, or just order cards.

Originals are most likely at the Saxapahaw Artists Gallery. Otherwise, please contact me if you are interested in an original...I take credit cards too!

One other place that you can visit and see my artwork is the Alamance County Studio Tour. I'll post more details separately, but I will have my art at a fellow artist's house October 15-16 2011. Click here for more information.

New Gallery in Saxapahaw

I've taken the plunge, applied and was juried into the Saxapahaw artists gallery. I brought my art to the gallery today. Saxapahaw is a small, but BEAUTIFUL town on the river. Mike and I first visited there years ago and always talk about how pretty the area is.

I attended a meeting last fall about a potential gallery space next to the post office. I came home so energized by everyone's excitement, but it didn't work out for me to be apart of it at that time. The people there seem genuinely supportive to have artists apart of the community. I hope the support continues since that is such a huge part in making the gallery a success!

Right now, the website is still in the works, but they do have a facebook page. I've pasted the link below, and a blurb about the patron membership.
