"June"


6 x 6"
oil on masonite
sold

Getting back to my alphabet series, I chose to paint this old, shotgun house that I spotted around Atlanta - with the hot, summer sun bathing it with color and light. I love this painting.



If you read the last post, I was struggling with one last piece for the February show. I ended up painting a scene that I honestly thought I'd never be able to pull off - and it turned out to be one of my all-time, personal favorites. I am beaming. I'll be able to show it to you in a couple of weeks, when I reveal all the work.

  4. Hey Karin! This is fantastic and I can't wait to see this "mystery" painting you're excited about. I really enjoyed seeing "June" this morning in the dark and the snow here in Maine. I think I'll need to book my tix to Florida (or Atlanta) today!

  5. Wow, this is so striking. I just love it. The rich orange pops off the blue background. Those dynamic angles just make this composition work so well.
