Gray's Arch

One of the cool things about being an artist is gathering material for paintings.  I had the pleasure of visiting Gray's Arch in the Red River Gorge area this week and took lots of photos.  It's hard to get the real scale of how large this formation is through a photograph.  I've included a photo of Tom at the bottom to give you an idea.  Very cool place.

Painting what you love....

I've always heard you should paint what you enjoy the most.  I love the solitude of nature so it's easy for me to spend the morning or afternoon by myself painting.  I also love my Kentucky, so being outside here (even in the heat) is a treat for me.  When I was a kid, I used to love just watching clouds change shape in the sky and clouds are still one of my favorite things.

More beaches...

There is nothing cuter than seeing children at the beach for the first time.  For those of you who've spent time at the beach you know what I mean.  I'm crazy about painting beautiful places, but I also enjoy capturing special moments too.

People in my paintings...

Most of my paintings don't have people in them, mostly because I love solitude.  I do love seeing children playing at the beach and couldn't resist doing a few paintings from some photos I have.  I have to admit that I also hunt for "shell treasures" at the beach!

I survived roller skating...

I hadn't been in a while, but just got back from skating with my sis-in-law, daughter, and nieces.  I had a great time...AND...didn't break my neck!  LOL!  It was great exercise and lots of fun.  I've been painting lots lately and can't wait to share the work with you later in the year once it's dry.

Summer is flying by!

It's hard for me to believe that it's mid-July already!  I've been trying to get more organized not only here in the studio, but with my taxes, filing, all things related to my business.  (Thanks Christine by the way!!)  It's going well, but is a much slower process than I thought.  I always thought of myself as being more organized than the average artist, because of my business background.  I guess my "creative filing" isn't really the best thing!

More Hiking....

We went to Carter Caves this week.  In addition to the caves, there are several natural arches in the park.  It was just beautiful, though my camera didn't do it justice.  This is Smoky Bridge.  You can see the size of it by checking out the steps to the bottom.  It's a beautiful area and we had a great time.  (I didn't drop any water bottles anywhere this time too!!!)
