Beaufort Wine and Food Festival

I am pleased to announce that I will be the artist for the Beaufort Wine and Food Festival 2015! More to come soon...

A little studio still life from the winter

How can I make a still life without it being a "still life"? Look at that junk on your work table- that's it! A fun study- 24x30" oil on linen

New website coming soon

The new computer is in, and I'm figuring it out- new site will begin being worked on over next week or so. But, I can do a few posts on my phone till then!

Here's one I've been out on site with twice, and the progress made. 22x28" oil on linen. Think it's about done.

Beaufort Drawbridge 20x30"

Here is another painting I started on site, went back, and have worked on in the studio. 

I am preparing to redo my website, once my new computer arrives- my MacBook from 2006 will no longer allow me to run the site editor. Guess I've gotten all a can from her! 

Cranking it up, been a long cold winter

So I know it has been a very long time since my last post. Technology has got me bent, things aren't operating easily on an 8 year old MacBook with so little memory I struggle to get pictures on there. My phone isn't much better, but am going to make an effort to use it for my blog. Here are 3 pics, all started on site in the last month. I am going out with larger canvases, working on them a few sessions if possible, and finishing them in the studio from sketches or memory. These are 20x30" and are headed over to carteret contemporary art in Morehead city this weekend. 

Thanks to all who came to the openings!

We had a great time in Raleigh at Adam Cave Fine Art Thursday and Friday night. Even sold a few paintings while having so much fun! The show will run through November 5.

October 3 & 4- solo show at Adam Cave Fine Art

I'll have 14 new  pieces at Adam Cave Fine Art for the first Friday. It'll run from October 3- November 5. Here are a few paintings that will be there. Come by if you are in the area.
