Critique of Southern Collectors Paintings

April 03, 2013

BEFORE: This woman wasn't pleased being so small against the pitcher. Having your work critiqued can be quite difficult at times. I had the opportunity to work with a writer who gives the best constructive feedback I have had in a really long time. She didn't nit pick, but rather gave helpful advice and things I could change in the paintings. AFTER: Painted over with her face instead of showing her entire self. Having to complete these paintings so quickly having her help was essential in getting the works done. I was asked by the Thomasville Center for the Arts to complete this project. Before I left to go to Taiwan they asked to see my progress on the paintings. Unfortunately they weren't able to see them in person, but I was able to send them photos of the paintings. Most of the Southern collectors they know very well and some of the women I am working with are actually collectors themselves. While the Center is not commissioning me to paint these p...

Baby girl painting

June 30, 2014

My friend and I threw an Anne of Green Gables themed baby shower for a sweet friend of ours and I painted this for her girls room. This painting is of a scene from the Anne of Green Gables movie. This painting is a lot different then my usual subject matter, but I enjoyed painting it and most of all I am glad that it worked well for the room. One thing this painting brought to my attention is I need to continue to practice painting landscapes so I can get better at them. Here is a picture of the painting in the room, I love how it looks with the color of the wall and the lighting is better in this picture.

Anne and flowers

June 09, 2015

I recently painted a series inspired by Anne of Green Gables. A buyer from out of state commissioned these after finding this very blog and seeing my previous work. She has commissioned five additional compositions containing scenes from the book. I painted the work twice. I am too appalled by the first one I made to show it to you. Let it be said that it is just horrible and I am glad I started over. Thankfully the other paintings started better than this one. Close up of face Detail of the flowers I am very happy with how the finished piece turned out and I am excited to be working on the rest of these paintings. I love this book so much, it makes me want to get the book out and get reading (when I should probably be painting!).
