Thought I would take this one to the June Art Crawl in Franklin if it doesn't sell before then. I'll be the featured artist at Shuff's Music.  Come see me!

 

 

In the Studio

My class at Rippavilla didn't make this evening. Yes, I'm disappointed. I love to teach. But I also love to paint and I'm enjoying an entire day in the studio. No make-up, and only leaving to hang wet clothes on the line. Feeling a little like Auntie Em...hanging wet clothes on the line with severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes in the forcast. Ah, spring in middle Tennessee. It's actually a great time to dry clothes. Until the front blows through it's 80*.

In the studio, I'm preparing for several art shows, exhibits, and commissions.

Preparing for the Franklin Art Crawl

I was so excited to be invited to be the featured artist at Shuff's Music in Franklin, Tennessee, for the April 3 Art Crawl. I've been in two art shows in Nashville in the past three months, so I wanted to paint all new pieces for this event. And since I paint with Oils that don't dry quickly, I had to start painting immediately.
