Ste Gen Steeple mini

This steeple calls my name whenever I'm in town!  I took a little sketch walk to work up a few miniature paintings of local places, and I found a few new favorites, too!  There are SO many paintings in my head - I can only wonder how many I'll be able to finish!  This one and several others are now showing at Music Art Love on Main Street in Sainte Genevieve.  Painting number 3735 in 3735 days. 

Red Doors mini

It was great having extra time to scout the streets of Sainte Genevieve!  Normally, my schedule is so full, it leaves little time for new discoveries.  These gorgeous doors have called to me on multiple occasions, and I loved painting the historic doors of the Sainte Genevieve Catholic Church!  As I worked I kept hearing the words, "I stand at the door and knock".....  This miniature is now showing at Music Art Love on Main Street.  Painting number 3733 in 3733 days. 

Moon Over Ste Genevieve Catholic Church

 

I LOVE the unique charm each watercolor batik painting has, as it's unpredictable nature unfolds!  Tt is so well suited for a nocturne with the hot wax resists and strong floating color. This one focuses on the Catholic Church in Sainte Genevieve, with moon and stars rising to the occasion.  I continue to work on large pieces for my upcoming gallery show at the Silver Sycamore Gallery of Fine Art March 24. I will be teaching a two day workshop, and sharing my process for the Art Walk on that Friday night at 6:00.  Come join me to see all the new work and the process, too!  Painting number 3718 in 3718 days.
