New Art and Magazine Covers!

Mixed Medium

Hi all!
Been awhile since I posted. I've been taking a loooong break from painting, but I have recently started working in pastels and watercolor and really enjoying it.

Keeping this one :)

In other news... I was on the cover and the featured artist of the New Barker Magazine earlier this year! Since I had been taking a break, it came at a really good time and kind of re-energized me in making art.

Since Ive been working in watercolors, I have amassed a pretty good collection and have put them in my shop here for sale:

Watercolor Illustrations

Well, I started out doing a 30 day challenge and then life happened. I think I got to day 21 and then stopped… home life got so turbulent, I just couldn't concentrate to paint so I allowed myself to back out of the challenge. I feel guilty, but I'll be fine. As I get older, I accept that this is MY life and I can change my mind if I want and that's just what I did.

Sooo, the other day I was going through some old watercolor illustrations and decided to put them up on my Etsy shop. You can see them here:

Looks like I was having some fun when I did these. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did finding them again.

Blue Heron

oil on canvas

Well, I'm back from my little vacation and wanted to paint something other than a dog. This is from a photo that Guy took at Arlie Gardens.

Also, here are some watercolors I did from my trip to the Outer Banks. Most of them were done on the ferry ride from Ocrakoke to Hatteras. I was just having way too much fun to stop and do more paintings. The ferry ride is 2.5 hours long so I was kind of forced to stop for a little while.

I really like these simple watercolors.

Looking forward to blueberry picking today for the first time.

SO glad summer is here.

"Blue Crab" by Clair Hartmann

14.5 x 11

watercolor on paper

Sold to a collector in North Carolina

Thought I'd give watercolors a try since it's been awhile. I find that painting in oils regularly has changed my watercolor style and although I don't normally like painting in watercolors, I very much enjoyed painting this.

Fancy Hat I

10" x 14"

Mixed Medium

I decided to do something a little different - I haven't worked in watercolors in a while and Chumley in a hat is my favorite subject to paint. Unfortunately he doesn't let me put hats on him - I have to take a photo of him separately and put the hat in myself. I think he just looks so distinguished and he really is a dashing looking canine if I say so myself. Except on the occasion when cutting an apple - then he's reduced to a desperate, frantic, adolescent puppy.

I recently started a Facebook group called "One-A-Days in March" for "creatives" that want to post photos of their work on for that day. It doesn't have to be painting, it can be anything - cooking, haircutting, ceramics, tattooing, whatever you're passionate about and you've completed a project for that day or even in progress of a project, this is the group for you.
