St. Simons - Messing about with oils!

February 24, 2016 Meredith Gillespie

I love the beach in the winter! It is my favorite time to go - It is so clean, wind swept and full of grays! This oil painting was a gift to my husband this past Christmas. It was based on a photograph he took of me - carrying our son down to see the waves.

I am a classically trained artist whose work is held in private collections around the country. My artistic career began as a medical illustrator in 2003. After spending ten years focused on the fast-paced med-legal illustration world, I rekindled my lifelong passion for creative art in 2013 when I began creating custom works for a variety of clients. Pet portraits quickly became a popular item for clients. In addition to these paintings, my range includes a wide variety of animal drawings, rural landscapes and extensive studies of the human figure.
