Well, when my instructor asked me to show a few pieces at our local arts council I was a little hesitant.
My largest piece at 22×28 is my Kayak Run. If you are one of my FB friends you have already seen these but now you get the story with them.
As a photographer, I have many times photographed kayaks maneuvering the rapids and rivers including in the Smoky Mountains. Of course, my favorite places in full or in part end up in a painting.
My second entry is Shawl Dancer.
I have many times photographed beautiful native american women at Pow Wows doing this same dance. When I sat down to do this piece I wanted to do her with as much color as possible.
3rd Entry
My smallest piece at 11×14 is Cyprees Knees.
This picture really came about by accident as I use whatever paint I have on my palette to create my next painting. A few days prior I had been photographing knees in Edenton. I guess they were still in my head when I created this. The driftwood was simply a creative stroke.
Now that these pieces have been submitted I can just enjoy painting. Here’s today’s creation in water color on aged paper.
Hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my crazy artistic life.
Have a great day. Don’t forget to like and share.
