I always enjoy playing with thick paint! I have been accused of being that person who "plays with her food". Wrong!

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Seascape with Sunset, 6x8" Oil
Another in my long fascination with oceans and, or, sunrise/sunset paintings. I am not sure why I am so attracted to them, but I am!
I always enjoy playing with thick paint! I have been accused of being that person who "plays with her food". Wrong!
For whatever reason, the process and the results please me....and that is my goal.

Abstract Sunset Painting, Textured Sunset Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Original Oil
I didn't mean to paint this! I decided to do an abstract, with nothing in particular in mind, and almost without my help, this sunset appeared.
Sunsets are one of my recurring themes and it just kind of happened before I knew it. Usually it does not happen that way for me. Usually, I struggle, I scrape, I try and try again. Sometimes I pull it off to my liking....sometimes I do not.
So on those few occassions, when I am happy without the anguish, I say a little "thank you" and put away my paints for the day.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Rustic Barn Landscape Painting, Rural Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Palette Knife Painting
Last month, my friends and I went on a photo shoot in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We rode the country roads, looking for scenic farms.
I couldn't resist this old ragged barn, on it's last legs. I painted with a palette knife hoping to bring the scene to life.
It was a hot September day and the grasses had turned a golden brown.
How nice to be an artist. I truly believe we train our eyes to see so much beauty, that often goes unnoticed in daily life. What a blessing we have!
Thanks for reading my blog today.....and stop to smell the roses.

Abstract Seascape Painting, 8x16" Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occassion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

My Trip to Three Sister Vineyards
Do you remember my announcement that my painting has been selected for a wine lable? Well here it is, in all it's glory! It is a pineapple infused chardonnay, and my new favorite wine.
Naturally, I had to make a trip to the vineyard, and I am so happy I did.
Three Sisters Vineyard in Dahlonega, GA is a great experience for everyone. This weekend, they have food trucks and live music.
The grounds are charming.
The new barn for events of all kinds, including weddings.
The perfect place to enjoy your bottle of wine.....just outside the tasting room.
Touches of Fall are everywhere. We Floridians eat that up!
Inside the tasting room, we were warmly greeted by the family. Did I mention this is a family business? Can you tell everyone is enjoying their selections.
There is no end to the charming views of this historic property.
184 acres of North Georgia Mountain vineyard beauty and the oldest continuously operated vineyard and winery on the Dahlonega Plateau.
Overlooked by Three Sisters Mountains
It was not easy pulling my husband away. Neither of us wanted to end this wonderful and relaxing afternoon.
A special thanks to Doug and Sharon for sharing their fabulous piece of heaven.

Barn Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Textured Painting, 9x12" Oil Painting
Barn Landscape Painting.
When my Pieces of 8 art buddies were visiting me, in my mountain condo, we left our paints at home. We still had plenty to do!
Each day we would venture out, with our cameras in hand. One day we drove through the countryside, looking for rustic barns.
We found plenty to choose from.
On this painting, I used a combination of brushwork and knifework. I concentrated on color relationships and texture.
Thanks for viewing my blog today!
