I hope everyone has had a wonderful break and is enjoying the start of Spring.

Free day at the High for Fulton Co Residence

I just got back from the High Museum. I went to see the Toulouse-Lautrec and Delacroix to Picasso Exhibits. The Lautrec posters were a lot of fun, and I enjoyed trying out my very limited French,
Today is a great day to go if you live in Fulton Co. The first Sat of every month is free. So get do to the High and check out the art.
Go see art - it's good luck!

Virtual Paint out February - Romania
Okay, here is my third Virtual Paint Out submission. This month is Romania. I choose to work in oils for this painting - which is my first oil painting in over ten years!
Below you can see the google map location that I used to create the painting. I am having so much fun with this. I like the challenge of a new place every month and it's cool to explore new places via the internet.
| Follow the Leader 24x24 oil on canvas |
Let me know what you think of the new oil painting.
Cheers,
Dawn
Virtual Paint Out Boston
| Fenway Park, Boston 20 x 30 Acrylic on canvas |
Okay, here is my second submission to Virtual Paintout. This month the city is Boston. It's a neat idea. Every month they pick a location and by using Google Maps, you find a street view and paint it. All submission for the month are posted on the blog http://virtualpaintout.blogspot.com/
Here are my street views below. I used a combination of two views this month because I wanted to include the restaurant on the left.
Well, I have enjoyed this project and I look forward to next month. Happy Painting!
Cheers, Dawn

Shenandoah Nat'l Park in the Fall
The Shenandoah in the Fall 16 x 20
This is my most recent painting from the studio. This Fall I made several passes through the Virginia mountains while traveling to art shows. You just can't beat the beauty of the Shenandoah Mountains!!!
I have tried to capture the intense beauty here on the canvas.
Tell me what you think.
Cheers!

UGA VIII @ Geogia Homecoming 2010
WooHoo! Sold a big one at Norcross today!
"An Afternoon in Tuscany" 36 x 60
It's always so nice when someone comes by and loves your work enough to take it home!
This is a painting inspired by my trip to Italy in '08. As a landscape painter, the Tuscany region is hard to top. Goodbye to An Afternooon in Tuscany. Just looking at it makes me want to go back.
Cheers,
Dawn

Plein air painting at the Botanical Gardens
Packed up and ready to ride! Sunday was a beautiful day to join a group of artist from the Atlanta Painters down at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for an afternoon of Plein Air painting. If you haven't been to the Gardens in awhile you really should check out all the new areas.
It turned out to be a wonderful morning and afternoon to be outside painting at the
Botanical Gardens.
Botanical Gardens.
Betsy, a fellow member of the Atlanta Painters found a shady spot to spend the day.
This is the small Japanese Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and my subject for the day. I have such a fondness of Japanese Gardens.
This is Jo's take on the same scene.
