Painting again!
Saturday, January 26th, 2008 | Posted in: 2007
Moving is never fun, but all the boxes are unpacked at last and we are finally starting to feel settled in our new Tyler, Texas home. My home studio is organized and I can’t wait to begin painting again! East Texas is absolutely beautiful and green and will be an endless source of inspiration for new paintings. My husband and I have traveled extensively through the years which allowed me to accumulate a wonderful collection of resource photos, sketches and small paintings. We continue to travel often and I always carry a camera, sketch book and paints to record the beautiful scenes I see. I collect so many great memories from these travels and it’s very easy for me to bring my photos to life each time I look at them. I have my own creative process I go through to express what it is I wish to say about a subject or scene. It is never my intention to record a scene exactly as it is because the camera does that very well. More important to me is capturing the magic of a place. Coastal scenes, seascapes, landscapes, cottage gardens, vineyards, vineyard paintings and floral paintings from my travels to Nantucket, Cape Cod, California, Oregon, New Mexico, Texas, Mexico and beyond are all familiar places for my sunny feel good paintings and Fine art Giclee Prints. Please join me and follow along as I create my original paintings of beautiful places in watercolor or oil.

I have been following your ebay auctions for some time and enjoy your paintings very much. I am a Texas resident and love this painting of the Fredericksburg house. I love seeing the preliminary studies and how close the painting follows them.
I am glad I found your blog and would like to subscribe via rss feed but can’t find a the button. Did I miss it?
Hi Bobbie…thank you for visiting my new blog and for posting a comment. I am new at blogging and look forward to the experience. I think the best thing about being an artist in this day and time is that it can bring so many new and interesting people into your life, like you, by way of the internet. I think the rss feed button you mentioned is available now. Please let me know if there is still a problem. It has been a bit hectic here in Tyler, Tx of late but I will be posting a new photo and sketch, and maybe a new painting soon…….
