TRIBUTE TO BEN TUCKER

"TRIBUTE TO BEN TUCKER"

Ben Tucker was a very kind and talented man who was a Savannah jewel.  He was a great musician.  His life was taken too soon.  This is his funeral procession New Orleans style with many of his friends playing for his celebration of life.  This is another photo that my childhood friend and neighbor Donald Teuton took.  He posted it on facebook and I asked him if he minded me painting it.  He agreed and it will be in the Telfair Show this weekend.

Come by my booth and see me.  I am across from the entrance to the Jepson.

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

"YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL"

My husband Olin and I spent our 35th anniversary at The Old Harbor Inn on Riverstreet.  I highly recommend it.  The next day we played tourist and I took this photo of James who is from Richmond Virginia.  He is a fixture in Wright Square.  He sang us an anniversary serinade and made me a flower.  He had such a kind soul.  This is one of my paintings at the Telfair Show.  It is 9x12.  Contact me if you are interested it purchasing it.

When I was showing at the Landings Art Association show a few weeks ago I met a lovely couple who liked one of my palm paintings of the Tybee Trail Path.  He knew it well.  He and his wife also liked to take photos and he showed me this photo on his phone he had taken.  I loved the perspective and asked if I could use it for a painting.  He agreed and sent the image to my phone.  I usually work from my own photographs but I love the way this one turned out.  The image above shows the photo and the painting.  It is my last painting to finish for the Telfair Show this weekend. 

The owner of the photo will have first dibs but if you are interested contact me.  It is a 9x12 and sells for $275.  It will be the one with the wet paint sign in the show.

A day on wassaw.  This summer was great.  The weather was not as hot as usual.  This photo was taken on Wassaw Island which is one of the barrier islands off Savannah.  We visit it often as it is a private beach only accessible by boat.

I have been working on paintings for several shows which have kept  me very busy.  I have been taking time out to paint these very quick paintings of palms.  These photos were taken on the Tybee Trolly Trail.  It is the old rail path of the train which traveled from Savannah downtown to Tybee Island.  It is lined on both sides with marsh and the back river.   A joy to paint.

I went to Jacksonville to visit my BFF (bestfineartfriend) Kaytee Esser.  We went to the Riverside Art Market where I photographed these radishes.  We painted them that night after Greg her husband fixed us a fabulous steak dinner.  We always have fun together.  You can view the process of the painting in the slide show below.
