"Army Wives"

It was fun to have "Army Wives" shooting an episode right outside our gallery's front door on January 18! We're not the only ones who love historic Charleston (and especially Church Street)!

Honorable Mention!

In December 13th's post, we mentioned that "Live Oak Canopy" (by Helen K. Beacham) would be in the gallery right after it's framed...well, it took a little detour in the meantime and won an Honorable Mention award at the Charleston Artist Guild's "Member Exhibition" on Friday night.  The judge's comments included the following statement:  "...This is a competent handling of a typical Southern subject that stands above the average!  Its unusual palette, with autumn colors, has a luminescence with the earth tones, especially under the trees...."
Why not plan to come into the gallery and see it for yourself?

Another one finds a home!

Teddy M. recently walked into Indigo Fine Art Gallery, enjoying the art and the ambiance of our gallery.  In short order, he found "Hot on Queen" and decided it would be perfect for their kitchen, provided that Mrs. M. would love it as much as he did!  Off it went, to be "tried out"!  And he scores!    We think it's perfect too!

Visiting Old Friends (my paintings)

Friday, I was invited to visit the home of Nancy and Ray H., who now own several of my pieces.  This one hangs in their dining room and is entitled "Mepkin View III".  The scene is one that the monks of Mepkin Abbey get to enjoy daily!  I had gone to the Abbey to see the creches that were displayed during the 2009 holiday season.  I left the creche display with a peaceful feeling, and then I wandered down to the water's edge in the misty rain.  The result was this painting.  That scene has inspired another three paintings (one of which is ALSO owned by this family, and hangs in their parlor, next to the dining room).  It was nice to visit my old friends!
