LOVE TO SHARE MY ART!

I recently mailed out paintings to Arizona, Texas, and New Jersey! It is so important to me to sell my work. I want to find homes for them. I like having them around but I want others share my joy in creating them. Now I have paintings in fourteen states and hope to keep adding to that number! The three paintings are "Blooming Apple", "Secluded Brook", and "Blue Ridge Wildflowers".

Small Gems on Ebay

I am attempting to sell my small gem series on ebay. It is so important to me to sell my work so I am looking for all avenues and ebay is certainly one of them. So far I have sold "Up Close and Magenta" and " A Pair". The patrons have been great and the compliments make my day. I hope to sell many more small pieces and then work on selling larger ones. Many of my medium and large paintings have been all over the U.S. in competitions and I want to start sending them to permanent homes. Check them out! My name on ebay is newriverartist.

All I want for Christmas and the New Year is to Sell Artwork

I am becoming more and more obsessed with selling my artwork. As I have said before I can't eat them and I can't take them with me. I am a serious, hard-working artist and if I never sell another painting I will continue to paint until I drop. Now more than every I want to explore more ways to get my work to the public. I have paintings in eleven states but I want to greatly increase that number.

My paintings are complicated, sensitive celebrations of life that I want to share with the world. Please buy a painting. You won't regret it.

My Joy of Painting

It is wonderful to wake up each day and hope to have time to paint. Lately I have been painting on a very small scale(5x7) and having a great time. I think I am truely coming into my own with these small works. I can change my mind so quickly and cover the surface over and over again to achieve a surface that is so complex and sensitive that it is hard to keep from touching it.

I hope you will view these works at towheehillstudio.etsy.com and kendall-kessler.fineartamerica.com

Mountain Lake Memories and Patrick Swayze

I have done and sold a number of paintings of the Mountain Lake Resort in Giles County and now that Patrick Swayze has died I am thinking a lot about these paintings. I have seen the film and my paintings are of several specific locations that were used in "Dirty Dancing". I haven't been to the resort in years but it is a very special place and I am glad that the water level is coming up again. I hope the lake will completly fill again soon.

You can view the paintings at kendall-kessler.fineartamerica.com Prints can be obtained from the ones that are sold. I hope you will visit the site and see these special views of a special place.

Small Gems at Towheehillstudio.etsy.com

I am so excited about my new small paintings featured at Towheehillstudio.etsy.com I feel like a lot of directions I have taken in the past are merging as I continue to delight in the process of painting. These paintings are based on various locales in the Blue Ridge mountains but there is a lightness to the brushwork and color that is happiness itself.

I wish some rich patron would find me, believe in my ability, sense my utter exhuberance and support me so I could work most of the hours of the day. I go to bed thinking about painting and I wake up thinking about painting. Please check out the site. I hope my joy will come to you through my work

Color My World

I am obsessed with color. I stare at mixtures of colors in shadows that many people do not see. The interaction of warm and cool colors all around us fascinates me and is a large part of my artwork. I seek to bring out as many colors as I see and then I add color accents to further enliven the scene. I do not mix colors on my palette. I take up a number of colors and white and let the colors come out of the brushwork. The colors I pick up are colors I see in the subject matter and some I don't.

I thoroughly understand Paul Gauguin's statement that he wanted to reconcile form with color. It is a magic act to pull out form and get the colors desired. Oil paint is an elusive medium. I never get exactly what I want but I will never stop trying. It is a wonderful journey of the mind and soul

My colors are now on another site where viewers can experience what I love. Towhee Hill Studio is now on http://www.etsy.com/ and I am very pleased with the set-up of my shop. Also, Towhee Hill Studio is still open to the public 3-5 Tuesdays and Thursdays or by appointment. Call ahead in case of emergencies. 540-257-3437
