Inspired by Lavender-See it tonight:
Recently I have become obsessed with some amazing doTerra Essential Oils. One of the “powerhouses” of oils is Lavender. It is good for so many things from helping you sleep, to healing wounds-you name it. Of course Lavender just happens to be amazingly beautiful in it’s herbaceous and natural state-particularly in the south of France. I will be heading to to Provence to see these very fields later this year. So-in anticipation of my trip, and while inhaling, diffusing and even cooking with this amazing oil-I have done a few paintings from a friends photographs from her trip to Provence.
I hope to finish framing this painting today, and have it hanging TONIGHT at Waverly Artist Group Final Friday Open House. Please come by and say hi-We will have live music, food and great art. Heck, Ill even give the buyer of the painting a bottle of Lavender oil!
Tune in again soon for the next Lavender Field painting!
Painting live, today at Waverly Artists Group!
Today, Saturday, July 13th I will be working and painting today at the Waverly Artists Group, in Cary until 3:00 pm.
I hope you will come in and say “hi” or hang out and paint a bit! We have lots of new art hanging in the gallery, just waiting to be admired!
We are just upstairs from Whole Foods, so please plan on stopping by!
Final Friday-June 28th-Art Show and Live Music with Stevan Jackson
“Final Friday/”Cary Art Loop” Tonight!
Tonight is the “Final Friday” Cary Art Loop! I will be at Waverly Artist Group http://www.waverlyartistsgroup.com/ from 6:00-9:00 celebrating with friends, food, wine and live music as always! If you have not had a chance to view the art from the Equestrian Art shows, there will still be some pieces up for viewing. As my paintings have sold I have tried to add some additonal ones. “Buddies” is one of those that will be on display.
“Buddies” is a painting of two horses “Buzz” and “Chance” sharing some hay in an Oklahoma pasture. These two guys are really special to their owner, Liz. I wanted to do something special and different for her birthday, so I had the image of the painting turned into a belt buckle -with all kinds of cool stones on it and around it. Liz totally rocks a “Western” look so I knew it would be a winner (She is a real cowgirl after all)! Thank you to Tonya Boezi on Etsy for making such a divine creation!

Hope to see you tonight!

Three Events tonight: Equestrian Art Show and More!
Tonight my art will be featured in three separate locations. Each one has a unique and distinct focus. First at Waverly Artist Group, The Equestrian Art Show is now open to the public. Tonight is the “Opening” night featuring wonderful art from local artists, featuring horses and landscapes from McNairs Country Acres, along with other locations. This show is a fundraiser for CORRAL. Also tonight is the exhibit at Chambers Art! in Downtown Cary. This show features paintings done by members of PAINT NC, a statewide plein aire painting group. Last but not least, my work is featured at Coffee and Crepes at Cross Roads Shopping Center, in Cary. I will be at all three locations..starting at Waverly, and ending up at Coffee and Crepes. Everything gets started at 6:00 pm-See you there!
Coffee and Crepes take TWO!
Coffee and Crepes take two: I say that because this event was rescheduled from last month, after a delivery of some snow and ice! Tonight, after the art shows at Waverly Artist Group (Waverly Place Cary), and the PAINT NC exhibition at Chambers Arts (Ashworth Village, downtown Cary, NC) I will be heading over to Coffee and Crepes where I have some great new paintings on display! They will be giving away coffee in honor of this art exhibition! I hope you will come join me for some coffee and a late night crepe!

Art, Coffee and Crepes anyone?
Come out to see and taste through February 19th, Coffee, Crepes and MY art exhibit(!), at Cross Roads, in Cary. Terri Pastrana, the owner of this FAB cafe-contacted me to ask if I would like a month long show there. Why YES, thank you! So last night, Howard and I ventured out in the cold to check it out! We hung 4 paintings on the purple wall. On the other side of the cafe’ will be the work of artist Ken Vrana. This Friday night, January 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm is the official opening of the art exhibition. To celebrate this, Coffee and Crepes is giving you free coffee while you enjoy the art!

How much is that painting in the window?
It is a neat thing to walk through my local shopping center and see my paintings in a store window-(actually it’s really FUN)! I have 2 of my favorite North Carolina mountain paintings, and three other new paintings as well . I love love love the colors in these paintings! I am so pleased with how these paintings came together, and really flow well as a group. I did not paint them for each other, but they just love being together! Another thing that makes this fun is that I am sharing the position of featured artist, with a photographer whose work I admire. His name is Jimmy Williams. Our work is shown together in the window of Frame Master’s in Cary. The frame shop is located in the Harris Teeter Shopping Center across from Waverly Place in Cary. Jimmy and I will be there doing a meet and great/ reception December 15th from 4:00-6:00 pm. I hope you will join us! If you can’t make it, I encourage you to see Jimmy’s work at www.jimmywilliamsphotography.com.
I hope you will come take a peak in the window!
