Upcoming Fundraiser Contribution


Platter for the upcoming Dining With Friends auction for the SC AIDS Benefit Foundation. I think this is the 6th platter I have done over the past 8 or 9 years. This one is charcoal on masking tape with a protective seal.

"Lake Lines"
20" x 60" - Acrylic on Canvas

This was a bit of a challenge, but I like how it turned out. I had to set it aside for a good week, and then over the weekend added the three vertical elements on the left and softened the strong vertical elements on the right. It is available at City Art Gallery. Stop by and see it in person!

Sealed Watercolor on Claybord

Please join me and 18 other artists at the 3rd annual Wassailing Wednesday at City Art on December 21. The main gallery will be set up with special pieces for the Christmas Season. I will have a good selection of small new works...many under $100. So plan to come out and enjoy this event with great art, great jewelry, and great people! And, if you missed buying a piece from my Retired Brush Series last year, I have a batch of new ones! See you at City Art! The show runs from 5:00 - 8:00 PM. I will be there by 4:00 if you want to come early!

New for the 2011 Retired Brush Series







I have finally been getting a batch of old brush heads ready for sale...these are the brushes (mostly 3" x 3") that I have been painting with over the past year...they are stained from the paints and actually look like many of my paintings...none of these have been altered except by the addition of melted refined beeswax which gives them a special depth and dimension. All of the 2010 pieces sold out, and there will only be a limited number of these available for the Christmas Season. Many are currently at City Art getting framed and a few more are still in process! Look closely and you will see the rivets in the metal that held the brush head to the wooden handle!

For the Love of Mom...

"Wisdom Trees on the Shore of Goodbye"
2.5" x 6.25"
Watercolor on Yupo

"November Catharsis"
8" x 10"
Watercolor on Yupo

After nearly a week of being by my Mom's side as she quickly slipped away from us up to eternal life on Thursday, November 17, I painted these two small works last night on November 18. These are my first watercolors on yupo. I think they capture the emotion of the week. Painting them was certainly therapeutic for me. I especially love the small piece on top. Looking forward to doing more with watercolor in the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone who has prayed and offered support to me and my family during this difficult time.

Demonstration






Last night I was at the Seven Oaks Art League demonstrating the Golden Open Acrylic line of paints and products. It was a great night of fun, information exchange, and creative energy. Four paintings were created during the hour...perhaps I should have a crowd of people huddled around me more often! City Art, where I show my work and buy my supplies, provided samples of the products to everyone's delight. Special thanks to my friends at Seven Oaks Art League for having me back for another presentation!

Good News


"Memories of Burton's Point" was one of 62 entries that juried into the upcoming 34th annual South Carolina Watermedia Society Show. In addition, the gallery curator selected this image as one of five that will be printed on a large outdoor banner that will be displayed the entire run of the show. The show will be at City Gallery at Waterfront Park in Charleston, and it will hang November 5 - December 31, 2011. I am heading to City Art today to see it framed to specifications for the event. I am very happy to be included in the show again this year. Last year was my first year entering and "Abstracting the Respite of my Childhood" won an award and has been traveling the state all year. Judging for this year's show will take place in late October. Find out more about the SC Watermedia Society at www.scwatermedia.com
