Number 15 of my 100 painting project. This painting was done from a photo that I took of our forsythia last spring, on April 7, when we had a spring snowfall. Since we have already had record breaking snow fall amounts this year, I am really hoping we don't see snow again this April.

February Print of the Month

This is the piece I chose to feature for my February Print of the Month. I am enjoying collecting these cards each month with prints of my art work. An now it's February already. That much closer to spring!

I had to search way back in my studio blog to find where I had posted about this piece. It is titled Avon Boat and the original is 6 x 12 inches with Neocolor II and colored pencil on pastel board. It was exhibited in 2008 in the Associated Artists of Southport July National Exhibition and sold while in that exhibit. The scene that inspired this piece is from a little place on Hatteras Island. The tranquility of this little boat floating next to the dock seemed a pleasant image to carry in my mind this month of February. Note cards and fine art prints of this piece are available through Imagekind.

This is number one in my 100 painting project for 2010. You can read more about this project here, on my studio blog, Blue Bird Hill. This year I will attempt to complete 100 small paintings. I will be offering most of them for sale at my Etsy shop.

It seems appropriate that the first painting is a sunny path, as I begin this painting journey. This piece started life as an acrylic painting. When I covered the acrylic with oil paint, it came to life.
