Music Art Love in Copper

I LOVED capturing the new location of Music Art Love in copper!  I had the chance to work this piece after dropping Mom off for a nap at our cushy abode. I take her nap times seriously - and get as much work finished as possible during that time!  On this day, I actually finished and framed, then needed to wake her up for "Wine Hour" at the Main Street Inn!  One never misses a wine hour if possible!  I'm so happy this piece has a new home, with the lovely owner of this wonderful place!! 😍❤️  Artwork number 3732 in 3732 days. 

Inn Ste Gemme Copper

 

This Inn Ste Gemme copper piece is coming to Music Art Love this week - along with a few others!  This gallery is the first to carry my metal pieces, so I hope you'll stop in to see their new space on a Main Street!   My new collection focuses on the wonderful historic architecture in Sainte Genevieve, and it is super fun to work in metal!  Artwork number 3724 in 3724 days. 

The Inn St. Gemme

 I like to get out early to sketch when I'm out of town, and this lovely inn is so welcoming in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri.  While in town to set up a gallery showing at Music Art Love, I took the opportunity to sketch a few favorite places at add to the show. I would love to see the inside of this place one day!  Painting number 4284 in 4284 days. 

Sainte Genevieve Catholic Church

Sainte Genevieve is one of my favorite places in Missouri to paint!  For years, my artist friends have suggested it to me - after learning of my love for old buildings, and I've enjoyed getting to know this town.  My first trip here was during Covid, purely by accident, it lined up with other gallery deliveries I had to make in 4 states.  I picked the coolest Bed and Breakfast in town, and I've stayed there 3 or 4 times already.  The Main Street Inn is fabulous in all ways, as is the whole town.  Here, I am finishing a larger painting of a small one I did on site, with a companion painting of only the steeple. I am exploring a new handmade paper here, a little thinner, with perhaps a thicker sizing?  Each paper is unique, and I unlock it's secrets as I work.  Every painting is a lesson, after all.  This will hang at the boutique gallery of Music Art Love in Sainte Genevieve beginning next Thursday!  Painting number 4261 in 4261 days.
