June 2024 

 

Greetings, all, and welcome to the summer months! I hope you've been enjoying the warm weather as much as I have.

 

As many of you know, I'm taking the summer off from teaching to allow me to spend more time in my studio creating new artwork. I have lots of ideas in mind, and right now I'm working on the largest painting I've ever done—24 x 48"! It's a surprise commission, so I can't say more now, but I will look forward to sharing photos with you later this year.

This beautiful Kalanchoe is also known as Flapjack or Paddle plant. I just finished this painting yesterday, with reference photos provided by a dear friend. The painting measures 8 x 11 3/4" and is available, for $355, with free shipping

Late last summer we took a wonderful 2-week road trip to the northeast and visited Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, as well as a number of US states, especially Maine. This scene was from a peaceful misty morning in Nova Scotia. You can expect to continue to see more art from this trip! This painting is 10 x 7" and is available for $250, with free shipping.

This is the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse in Acadia National Park in Maine. It was one of my favorite spots of the whole trip. It's easy to see why it's such a beloved and iconic landmark. This painting is 14 1/2 x 10" and is available for $325, with free shipping.

I've painted this handsome Barred owl several times over the years since I first saw him and his mate at the Bog Garden in Greensboro. What a joy it is to see them and hear them hooting in the trees! This painting measures 12 x 9" and is available for $325, with free shipping.

This is a fun painting I did with some of my students. I love the wild asters with the beautiful bluebird, looking just like summer and sunshine. I can almost hear the birds calling. This painting is 9 x 12" and available for $325, with free shipping.

This is a little plein air painting (meaning that it was painted from life, not a photo) that I painted on a ferry during our voyage through Canada. This little painting is 7 x 4 7/8" and is available for $125, with free shipping.

Great news! You may remember this painting that I did of the Brooklyn Bridge (30 x 17") in 2020. It was recently accepted into the Southern Watercolor Society's Annual Juried Exhibition, and has traveled to Panama City, FL for the show, which is on display June 7 - 29 at the Panama City Center for the Arts.

Hey, and this is cool.. my lighthouse cards are now available in the Our State Store and part of their featured June collection in the magazine and the online store.
