Indie Coke

 

This is my second piece in this series of Coke bottles.

A couple from Indiana saw my piece titled "Moore Coke" that I had created for Michael Moore several years ago.  The Kruger's hometown was the site of a bottling plant during WWII and so they wanted to depict a very specific bottle that she had found. It was slightly different than many of the other bottles of that era.

She provided the bottle for reference and I salvaged some boards from an old cabin on our property and voila - Indie Coke..

Mistletoe Market II

I am thrilled to announce that I am participating in the Artist's Market at the Hartwell Art Center again this year. 

Last year, I sold out of my animal notecards 3 times.. My printer was working overtime! This year I have a new professional printer so I will have them in stock and not have to race about if and hopefully they sell out again!



Big Red Barn

My cousin's wife Annette Goodman is an amazing photographer. She took some beautiful shots of some of the barns at the farm. She has commissioned me to create a painting based on her photograph of barn #5..aka the Big Red Barn. Not only it is a great composition - but she also likes the watercolor/acrylic sketchy style that I think will work really well with this subject matter. I am canvas shopping now and I think we are going with a 24" x 24" so it will be a fairly large piece when it is all said and done!


Athens town

I am so excited to be working on a painting of Athens. Capturing UGA in the 90's.  It is a gift from a group of friends for a 40th birthday gift! 

This painting is in progress but you can see where we are headed... I think the Indigo Girls or Dave Matthews Band will be on the marquee and streets will be filled with people probably wearing enormous T shirts with khakis....

Abstract Figure Painting ..in progress!

I am so excited to have the chance to create my next piece. As you know I love figure drawing and my latest commission involves taking my figures to the next level. I have been commissioned to creat a large piece for the Wyper's entry way - 48" x 60" ...yes it is enormous,,,

It will be full of warm rose, gold green and greys.....pretty much the farrow and ball swatch set ...and feature a very subtle reclining female figure.

Here is my "idea board- showing my palette and inspiration pieces.. also you can see my figure drawing of Laurie which will be the backbone of this work.

I salvaged some boards from an old cabin on our property and created the canvas from this piece.
