Spotlight on Art

This art show at Trinity School in Atlanta opens Monday, January 30. It showcases art from Atlanta artists and some out of state artists. I’m looking forward to the festive (and crowded) reception! I’ll be showing oils and watercolors this year.

Sketching at SCAD

I spent some time drawing in the SCAD Fashion museum in Atlanta and on the 5th floor deck overlooking midtown. The exhibit was draped clothing. It was interesting seeing all the different examples of draping fashion. I used a water soluble pencil in the galleries and then added watercolor afterwards. For the city view IContinue reading “Sketching at SCAD”

Gifty Art

I like to get my crafty hat on once in awhile. This year I’m making cards, bookmarks, mini sketchbooks and origami things with watercolor paper, thread, glue, sequins, markers, buttons, mod podge and whatever else is around. These items will be for sale at the holiday art show December 3 and 4. Let the funContinue reading “Gifty Art”

I will have worksContinue reading “Holiday Art Show”

Seasonal Art

I’m inspired to create work that connects to the season. The exuberant sprays of daisy mums growing around the neighborhood caught my eye and led to this watercolor composition.

The Falling Leaves

…drift by the window I look forward to autumn for many reasons but one of them is looking closely at the fallen leaves. The variety of color, line and pattern never get old. Each leaf is unique and amazing. I enjoy trying to capture the exact colors and markings on a fallen leaf. I placedContinue reading “The Falling Leaves”

Vegetables from the garden

Overall my vegetable garden was average this year. However, I really got a bumper crop of squash. I didn’t plant them but they came up and just took over a lot of real estate. They seemed to be a hybrid winter squash of butternut and delicata. I’m enjoying painting all of the variations and patterns.Continue reading “Vegetables from the garden”

Assemblages

When arranging items for a still life I choose things that appeal to me for their color and shape but also for sentimental or personal meaning. My newest work includes a piece of pottery I made, a figurine given to me by my grandmother and a cross stitch cloth made in the 1950s by myContinue reading “Assemblages”

December Art Shows

I’m participating in two art shows in early December. I’m looking forward to meeting the other artists in Roswell and reconnecting with my friends and fellow artists at my studio in Chamblee.

Plein Air

The French term plein air means out of doors and refers to the practice of painting entire finished pictures out of doors. It’s most associated with Claude Monet and other artists in the 1870s who became known as the Impressionists. I started doing work outside during covid and have been organizing an outdoor painting groupContinue reading “Plein Air”
