Show and Sell, 2nd Edition

Well, the last one was so good we decided to do it again! This time around our group show will be at the S&W building downtown on Friday, November 2nd. The hours are longer, so you've got plenty of time to make it by. There will be paintings, ceramics, clothing and jewelry, all by incredibly talented women, so don't miss it!

Big Moth

Another bug painting! I've enjoyed doing these and friend gave me this beautiful moth, called a polyphemus. The image is actually life size, as the moth was so big. This is oil on gessoed paper.

Fairview View

Here's a scene from Fairview that I started last summer and revisited several times until I was finally happy with the results. I played with the intensity of colors and altered the brushstrokes to really make it come alive.

Show and Sell

I will be part of a one night show this Friday in downtown Asheville, along with four other very talented female artists. There will be paintings, ceramics, mixed media, and clothing. Please stop by if you can. It is at Vadim Bora Gallery on Battery Park Avenue from 6 to 9 pm. Refreshments will be served!

Biltmore Bridge

Here is a painting I did recently on location at the Biltmore Estate. I am really happy with the freshness of it, and the vitality of color. I love working on location, and the Biltmore is a great place to paint outside.

Blue Crab

This is a recent painting which I really enjoyed painting. It is fairly large, at 36"x40" on canvas. It was done in the same way that my little bug paintings were, only much larger! I love the color of the blue crab, and really wanted to give it some presence. This piece is hanging in downtown Asheville at the Lobster Trap, a wonderful restaurant on Patton Avenue. Drop by to see it if you get a chance.

Lighthouse at Folly Beach

Here's a scene from down in Folly Beach, SC. This was done from a dock overlooking the marsh, with a nice view of the lighthouse in the distance. The marsh grasses are always fun to paint, as they come in so many different colors.
