Cabin in the Woods, Blue Ridge Mountains Artwork, Smoky Mountains Cabin, Small Painting, Order a Print
Did you ever have that feeling, that you just want to get away? Away from the hustle and bustle of life, the job, the town, .......just everything?
This little painting, is my idea of that perfect get away. It's on a quiet mountain road, snuggled up under the trees, but not so far from civilization that I would not want to be there alone. In other words.....PERFECT!
Contact me to order a print on canvas or paper.

Floral Landscape Painting, Blue Ridge Mountains, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Order Your Print
Last fall, we took a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a crisp, sunny day and my camera was busy clicking away.
 |
| Purchase a Giclee Print here It's hard to go wrong with a blue and yellow painting.....it just shouts "Cheerful". The background was painted with a brush, but I used a palette knife on the flowers and grasses. That's when it started to be really fun!
I feel like I was able to capture the feel of the day......I hope it made you smile!

Seascape Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, SOLD, Daily Painting, 11x14" Ocean Painting Underwater Garden
I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings. I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".
While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat. I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos. I did love the trip out and the trip back. I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.

Bamboo Landscape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 6x8" on Panel SOLD
As a child living in rural Ohio, my grandmother would visit from Florida, bringing along an exotic collection of seashells and postcards. There was always one or two postcards from McKee Gardens in Vero Beach. She awakened a deep desire in me.....to live in this strange and beautiful tropical land.
It's always nice when a childhood dream comes true............Thank you Grandma.

Barn Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Rustic Painting, Scenic Landscape, 9x12x.75" SOLD
I am spending time in the mountains and have said goodbye to the tropical scenes, for now.
I tried to take a few hints from him.
Be prepared to see a few more barns and rural scenes in the next few weeks.
Have a colorful day!
ADDITION: Since originally writing this post, a lot has happened! On Tuesday the 4th, we woke to the frightening news that Hurricane Matthew was targeting our home in Florida. We hopped in the car and drove 10 hours to protect our home. Wednesday was a stressful day with lots of hard labor in hot and humid weather. If you have never put hurricane shutters on your home, you cannot image the amount of strength it requires to lug these 11 foot panels and attach them over windows and doors. It was an exhausting day and my husband and I crawled to bed, grateful to have our house protected, as long as the roof held. At five the next morning, the news is worse, the storm is now a Cat. 4 and expected to make landfall in our county. Complete devastation is predicted!! I call my daughter and son to inform them that they need to evacuate, which means find a safe hotel now. My daughter goes to Boca Raton and my son and family (and their three dogs) come with us to Orlando. Safe, but now we are expecting all of us to be homeless. Maybe our entire town will be gone!
The night passes and we wake to good news. At the last moment, the storm veered east, just enough to save our town, reports of damage are few and minor. Did our roof hold? Did our house flood? Now we are under curfew and must wait until the curfew is lifted to return home. Finally, at 4:00 that afternoon, we return home to find our house is fine, and so are my son and daughter's home. Nobody can believe that the storm moved, just enough at just the right time, to save us. We still have two days of steaming Florida heat to face without power, but there is always a smile on our faces.
We are still awaiting news of our sister in Hilton Head Island, SC who also had to evacuate. Their entire island, which substained substancial damage, is closed off . It will be several more days of waiting before they are allowed to inspect their home. It will be weeks, maybe months before life returns to normal there.
Later this week, we will return to the mountains of North Carolina. We left half our belongings there and hope to see at least a few days of autumn leaves before returning to Florida for the winter.
Having survived many hurricanes over the years, we were spared one of the worse aspects. We were able to be in constant contact with friends and family through texting. In the past, we sometimes waited days after the storms before having news of their safety. We are so grateful to have survived this horrible storm.

Small Barn Landscape Painting, Textured Art, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Original Oil.
This old barn, sits near our home, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I see it every day and knew I would paint it eventually.
I painted with brush and palette knife, creating texture for interest. I popped the autumn colors, for the same reason.
I almost always use a black frame, as it really shows off the colors.
Thanks for stopping bye today.

Art and Fashion
Several months ago, I was contacted by an Israeli fashion designer, Assaf Pelleg. He was designing his 2017 Spring/Summer Line, and wanted to use one of my paintings in his work. I agreed to work with him, and we found two of my artworks that were of interest to him.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.
I am thrilled with the results!
This is the fun part of what I do. I sometimes struggle for days, over a specific artwork. Just this week, I have worked on a piece for 3 days, and scrapped it this morning! Then there are the boring hours, after hours, of internet work. Taking photos, editing them, posting them. Sometimes it seems the reward, is not enough to justify the effort.
But then, one day, a painting effortlessly falls off my brush, or a student sends me his power point presentation about how he was influenced by my art, or someone on the other side of the world, likes my work enough to place it in his collection.
That is the payoff!
Thanks for reading my blog today!
