PAINT MY DOG #6
8" x 10"
oil on canvas
private collection
It's been holiday portrait season and it's been a busy time for sure - I'm finally coming up for air. I wanted to share this painting from the PAINT MY DOG series that I just love.
Also, at the end of this month I will be closing my Etsy shop - I have decided to have some galleries represent my work and see how it goes. Edward Dare Gallery in Charleston will be the first of a few. It's a really lovely gallery that represents a wide range of artists and I'm looking forward to working with them.

Landscape Challenge #19 & #20
#20
"Moody Marsh"
12" x 4"
oil on canvas
#19
"Wild Horses"
10" x 8"
oil on acrylic
The wild horses are an experiment. I had heard of people painting on acrylic and wanted to try it. The surface is too slick and "cold" for me. My favorite surface is wood - it's warm and has just the right amount of "tooth". One day I'll try copper - I heard that's a good surface to work with, but seeing how I like a little "grab" to the surface, I'm guessing copper won't like that either.
The marsh painting is done in the Zorn palette using only, ochre, cadmium, black and white.
It's so moody.
Auctions going on now:

Ocean Storm
10" x 8"
oil on canvas panel
Yesterday, we saw a fantastic storm. We thought for sure there would be funnel clouds over the ocean. So we rushed out of World Market and hightailed it to the shore. Although we saw no funnel clouds, it was quite beautiful and in the end of this dramatic play of nature, we were gifted with two rainbows and the sunshine peeping behind billowy clouds over the marsh.

Shackleford Island Horse
Shackleford Island Horse
10" x 8"
Oil on canvas
I felt like some bright colors.
As you have noticed I haven't been oil painting much and needed a change. I started painting this a week ago and had to stop because something came up and thought I needed to make lots of changes, but the more I looked at it, the more I saw it needed only a few tiny tweaks and it was perfect!
I really love the way this turned out - the color looks so much like that day.

Wilmington Alley
"Wilmington Alley"
12" x 12"
oil on canvas panel
I took this photo a few months ago and have wanted to paint a wilmington alley for awhile. I love the way everything is so dirty and wet on the street and the sunlight cutting into the buildings at the top. It truly is a metaphoric painting... light at the end of the tunnel? transformation? a new life?

Baldhead Island Landscape
Here is an impression of the landscape at the kitchen sink at the vacation house we are staying in on Baldhead Island. It has been very cloudy and cold - the first night it rained and stormed like crazy.
The dogs are getting along well, but they are both sick from something Frida picked up. We have been sleeping and resting a lot which is much needed by all.
