Winter Classes for 2019

Happy New Year!!!!
 
Well, 2019 has arrived, and it’s time to start making plans for the New Year.
 
Have you been thinking about painting classes? I still have room in the Wednesday morning guided classes beginning Jan 9th, while the Tuesday evening classes, beginning Jan 8th, are wait list only. Each class series will begin again in early March. So, if you missed this series, make sure to sign up early for March. Private lessons are also available. Find more details here
 
Keep a look out for plein air events in the spring as well. I will be teaching a free class in Eatonton GA in early April, but I do plan to schedule a few more outings as well.  More details to come and keep checking my website.
 
I wish you all a healthy and happy New Year!!

Back in the Studio!!

Hello everyone,

The month of August has blown by! It was my annual trip to the Northeast for art shows, catching up with friends, and outdoor adventures. I had art shows in Mystic, CT, Mount Gretna, PA, and Pittsburgh, and I'm happy to say the shows were a success! Pictured above are a few of my favorites that found new homes. A big thank you to my new and returning art collectors!

After a month on the road, it's great to get back in the studio and see what I can come up with next.  I have 2 more shows this year:  Alexandria, VA September 17 and 18,  and Brookhaven, GA  October 15 and 16.

Channeling my Inner Fauvist

A good friend had us out to paint in the North Ga Mountains last week and everything was just so green. After piddling around a little bit, I decided just to have a little fun with it and just go bold. Below is the actual scene I was working from.  I think you can find the stairs but see if you can find the Adirondack chair in my painting....just kidding : )  - Dawn

Studio Tip: What do you get when you cross a paper towel roll and a saw?

I was tired of wasting paper towels in the studio or being to cheap to get a clean one, so I thought I'd try cutting a role down in the shop. By cutting the roll into three sections, I have the perfect size to clean my brushes and knives without waste! Hallelujah   Why did it take me so long to come up with this??

Cheers, Dawn

Fall is a great time to get outdoors to paint. The cooler temps are pleasant and the fall leaves are beautiful. But we have had so much rain 

lately, it has really pushed me as an artist to try to capture all that color in low light. I love that there is always a new challenge!

I'll be headed to Coastal Carolina for a week of Plein Air the first week of November. Despite the exciting challenge of painting on gray days, I hope the rain stays away!

Great weekend for and art show!!!

The weather was perfect this weekend and people came out to see the art and listen to great music. It was just hard to be in bad spirits this weekend at the Brookhaven Art Festival. I haven't done this show in several years, and I am glad I came back.

 A few of my favorite paintings found new homes this past weekend.
Flowers from a Friend, 20 x 20 oil on panel. This painting is based on flowers from my friend  Stuart's garden in my favorite vase. Talulah River, 16 x 20 plein air painting on canvas. This is my favorite painting spot when up at Parker Ranch.  Red Maple, 12 x 16 oil on panel. This was from the Olmsted plein air paint out, and I was pleased with the dappled light in this one.

It is so rewarding when your work in appreciated. A big thank you to my new collectors!!
