Painting Finds a New Home!!

I love when friends visit my Art Exhibit and especially when they purchase a painting and give it a home.    "Tennessee Church" now has a new home.

Douglas County Courthouse Exhibit - September 2018

Paintings of my hometown Douglasville as well as Unicoi State Park and Blue Ridge are a few of the paintings that help me remember my hometown roots and my travels.    What a fun experience to have some of my paintings exhibited at the Douglas County Courthouse.   Douglas County has been my home my whole life and I'm happy to be considered a "hometown" girl.   One thing I do, however, is travel and painting the places I travel is a great way to remember fun places as well as re look at some of the local landmarks in my home town.    Here are a few of the paintings that will be in the September Exhibit.    They remember my home town by the railroad tracks,  my childhood home at Christmas, Unicoi State Park, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Vienna, Austria.

NOVAS 2018

Three of my paintings were just accepted into the NOVAS 2018 Art Exhibit at the Cultural Arts Center, Douglasville, GA.    Still getting settled into my new home and haven't got my studio area identified yet.     I've got the itch to get back to more regular painting...trying to sort though 30 years of stuff to clean out room has been a challenge.

Update on Half-Off Sale

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Half-Off Sale.    Nine paintings have found a new home.    I consider paintings like "books".     A "book" is only good if someone is reading it.   They are not any good packed away on a shelf or in a box.   The same is true of "paintings".   They are only good if they are hanging on a wall and being enjoyed!!   

Next things are:
- Douglas County Art Guild Show at Cultural Arts Center, Douglasville, GA  - through June 2018
- Douglas County Courthouse Art Show - photography and paintings in a one person show -         September 2018

I've also entered the paintings below in the NOVAS Show.   We will find out in July, 2018 which ones have been accepted.

Monastery of the Holy Spirit

Monastery of the Holy Spirit - Oil - 2018 - 9x13 unframed

The Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA is one of my favorite places to visit.   I've taken many photographs there and painted this church several times.    The monks built it one wheel barrel of concrete at a time.    A calm and serene place to pray and meditate.
