"Nestled" watercolor of wisteria by Krys Pettit
11x15 inches
I have not been actively blogging for a while. Taking classes, growing my online presence with my artwork devoured my time. Then COVID came along and altered the way art is shown.
Many art organizations I belong to have stopped or limited on-site exhibits. The gallery I am part of in Decatur, GA continues to thrive so my work is available there. I work available online in Etsy and on eBay and of course my commissions keep me busy.
But like so many of us the personal contact and interaction is missing. That makes my job of communicating in person with collectors and art supporters basically not happening.
I am filling the gap of non-communication with blogging once again. I've done a tremendous amount of work in the last 6 months and I'm happy to share it here.
I will also be sharing works in progress, what inspires and motivates me. This will help me create more work and continue my growth as an artist. Some of my job is the craft and the technique. And the evolution and challenge of getting the painting done are something I am happy to share -- we all need someone to occasionally complain to :).
I tried to analyze why I paint and a big part of it is to bring something unique to a viewer and collector. It may be joy, sorrow, contemplation, pride -- the emotions vary. In the end my job is to create something that resonates with you. I look forward to being on that journey with you.
Visit my website for a sampling of my work and custom house portraiture:
Wild Oats and Billy Goats is a great, eclectic fine art and craft gallery in Decatur, GA and I am thrilled be a part of their tribe:
Etsy is a great marketplace for fine art and craft and I have had my store there for a number of years. You'll find prints and my medium-sized oils, acrylic and watercolors.
Looking for art to fill your home and within budget? I regularly put out studies, smaller works, and older pieces for auction at my eBay store. It's fun to bid and win and I keep the work varied and fresh:
