Adrift 40 x 30 on Linen

A few years ago one of my art friends told me where I could go paint in Hilton Head.  Since I love the sun and the beach I just didn't feel like painting on site.  I went by the spot one morning and took pictures of the scenery.  My friend has painted this scene many times and there has never been a boat in her paintings from this spot.  Therefore I know that this boat was Adrift.  It was an old boat and was just sitting there, not anchored down or anything.  I took many photos with different angles and plan on painting many more pictures from this location.  I truly felt at the time that this was God given and still do today.  This painting is available at Anne Irwin Fine Art in Atlanta.  My blog is currently not going out to people.  I found out that it was Feedburner, but have to make many changes and just don't have the time at the moment to work on this project.  As usual when I have to do computer things by the end of it I want to throw the computer out the window.  Hopefully it will be working in a few weeks.

Radishes and Onions 12 x 16 Oil on Panel

I really love painting radishes.  These were from Fresh Market and they are called Easter Radishes with all of the different colors.  The onions were a lot of fun also.  This painting is available at the Shain Gallery.  My previous post never went out when I published it I am not sure why.  So please check it out.  Thanks.  UPDATE:   It looks like Google is letting Feedburner fade away.  From the forums I have read many blogs are not going out and haven't in weeks.  Mine being one of them.  I have now switched to MailChimp so lets hope I set it up correctly.  Hopefully this will go out tomorrow as an update.  This post is new and the one below is new since the Feedburner malfunction.  Thank you!!!

Tart 8 x 10 Oil on Panel

Years ago I was lucky enough to take a workshop from Sarah Lamb at The Grand Central Academy of Art in New York City.  I think Sarah has only taught a few workshops so as you can imagine it was a wonderful experience. It was a 3 day workshop and I believe the 2nd day she did a second demo and that was of a tart from a New York Bakery.  It was the first tart I think she had ever painted and she found it while we were at lunch that day.  It was a great demo as you can imagine and one of my friends purchased the painting.  I still look at it every time I visit her.  From the demo we went out and purchased simple things to paint.  I painted some eggplants.  I wish I had painted something from a bakery at that time.  Not sure what I was thinking. I have a great picture of Sarah and I from the workshop and maybe I will scan it and post it.  It was before I had a phone that took pictures and maybe before phones could take pictures.  There were many wonderful artists in the workshop and a few have become well known.  You never know who is painting next to you at a workshop!  So now finally after many years I am painting my own version and plan on painting a few more wonderful items from bakeries around here.  By the way, Yes I did eat the tart after painting it.  This painting is available at the Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC.
