Sightseeing in Greenville

Wish you were here!

I spent most of yesterday working on the couple and adding in some color to the background. I like the contrast I am able to get by painting the background a dark color and overlaying the lighter colors. My next step is to paint in the letters and add some detail to the bridge.

Unfinished, but in love

I adore the piece I am working on right now. It is working out exactly as I hoped it would, which, after the struggles I had with the last one, is a welcome change. I decided to do another vintage Greenville travel image, combining the modern bridge with vintage people and text. Before I started this one I had the image in my head of a couple pointing off into the distance with the suspension bridge in the background. I get a bit nervous when I like paintings this much this soon in the process, but the more I work on this one, the more it fits what I wanted. Can't wait to show you the work I did on it today!

Overcoming Hurdles

This was a piece that did NOT come together easily. It was pretty much a struggle from start to finish. But I also think it is exactly those struggles that make me like it that much more now. If we never encounter obstacles in our path, we will never grow stronger, am I right?

Katrina and Kyle are friends of my sister, and they were married this past weekend. Congrats guys, and enjoy!

A day of leisure

Seeing as today is the first day off I have had in a while, I thought it was worth celebrating. Happy Labor day everyone! I hope your day is as filled with doing nothing as mine.

Gee, Honey, isn't Greenville Swell!

A postcard to Greenville how it might have looked (if this bridge had been here then, that is.)

What would it have looked like?

If you live in Greenville, you know that the Falls Park suspension bridge was not around during the 1950's. In fact, it was built only a few years ago. But through the magic of painting I can show you what it could have looked like. This piece is not quite finished. A few more details, and I am thinking about adding the phrase "Greetings from Greenville" in the bottom left corner.

I am doing this piece for the Open Studios exhibit coming up in a few months. All the artists involved in Open Studios submit a 12"x 12" piece. It is always a very cool show.

Oh, what some color will do!

The original photos I am creating this piece from are in black and white. I have been having fun imagining what colors thy night have been originally, as well as figuring out what will be bright and eye catching.
