Getting ready for summer art camp

Hi everyone, don't fret, I have been painting! It's is just most of my time has been occupied by getting ready for summer art camp. I am again teaching the 4-6 year old children. Many have been with me for the last summer or two so I just love seeing them again and how much they have grown. The difference is I am only teaching two weeks not four. Needed a break this year for a little and also wanted time to be able to create my own art along with spending time with the horses and the newest addition to our family... Hobeaux - a pitbull/mastif cross. He is a love! Showed up on our doorstep about three weeks ago. Anyway, I just finished two new paintings - one is a small watercolor of an ocean cliff with a lighthouse and the other, a small acrylic equine painting. Both will be posted soon.

Thoroughbred Racing Museum of Aiken, SC

I have had the honor of being chosen as one of four artists to have work selected to be for sale at the Thoroughbred Racing Museum. Four of my silverpoints were chosen. I am so excited by this opportunity. A portion of the sale price will go towards the Thoroughbred Racing Museum, a beautiful piece of Aiken's history. The image is titles "Worth The Look". Silverpoint is a technique where the artist actually draws with a piece of silver on a prepared surface. When the drawing is finished, it is left to tarnish, much like a silver tea service would, after the artist is happy with the darkness of color, it is then framed and tarnishing ceases. It is a rare artform. Please visit www.aikenracinghalloffame.com/Online_Art_Gallery.html to see all artwork available
