My Babies

It's not often that I get to see my babies (my artwork) after they are sold.  And most of the time I don't even know who bought them unless I personally handled the sale.  So I really get excited when I get to see them hanging out in their new homes.

This little group of "Happy Trees" was recently purchased by Carmen Watson of the Olive Pit Restaurant on Mineral Wells just down the road in Paris, Tennessee.  I went to visit them last week and they really do look happy in their new home.  I love that she arranged them in a group in the foyer and hope they get to spread their happiness for many years to come.

Knowing When To Stop

Is it finished yet?  No.   Knowing when to stop, knowing when I've done everything I can to get my idea across in a painting without going overboard - can be a real problem for me.  I know it needs a little more contrast ...

but after years of creating finely detailed ink drawings like "Sunflower Forest" shown below,

sometimes it's hard to put the brakes on and keep myself from filling in all the negative space.

Come back later to see what happens with this dreamy little dragonfly.

Tulip Boat Revisited

This boat is one of my favorite scenes here at Paris Landing.  It's not my boat, but I wish it was.    The owners keep it planted with blooming flowers all during the growing season.

Here are a couple of photos from previous years.

Spring! At last!

I just checked the weather forecast for the next 10 days and I think Spring is finally and really here!  I love it when the trees put on their fresh green leaves.  

And the Dogwoods bloom!

Happy Spring!
