I am excited to have run across Laura Shubert’s work! Any of you who read this blog know how much I love paintings of interiors. I just don’t run across them very often, but I did today! Check out artist Laura Shubert.

What. Amazing. Paintings! 

I love the light streaming in the window, the blinds on the door, and all the paintings on the wall!

Another favorite! What a sweet vase of flowers. The brightness of the green against the rich color in the flowers is so nice!

Light and shadows, a comfy sofa, light pouring in… I want to curl up with the stack of magazines that I have sitting here waiting to be read…

Read a blip about Laura from her website:

Laura Lacambra Shubert, daughter of a Basque father and American mother, grew up in Florida and Spain and chose art as a career at an early age. She studied painting, drawing, and printmaking at Southern Methodist University, where she received her B.F.A. in 1986.

After studying painting at Academie Port Royal, in Paris, France, for one year, she returned to the United States, where she began exhibiting in solo and group shows across the country. In 2000, she was named a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London, England (established in 1754).

I have admired Frank Gardner’s work for quite a while now. He creates the most amazing paintings, full of depth and texture as well as interest! With today being Cinco de Mayo I thought I would pick some paintings of Mexico, and Frank has some beauties!

Fresh Paint is a gorgeous painting and those colors, ahhh, those colors, they grabbed me right away! The buildings in Mexico are so beautiful, I really want to go there one day! Fresh Paint is available at Galeria Gardner.

I have loved this painting from the moment I saw it! What a delight to be able to see Frank’s paintings in real life! The photos are great, but the real thing is so much better. You can better see the richness, the texture, the feeling of the painting is much more apparent. Frank is a good guy, he’s represented by many galleries throughout the USA as well as his own Galería Gardner. Check out his work when you get a chance!

Procession is available at the Principle Gallery in Charleston, SC.

Stewart White is an award winning artist with some spectacular paintings. It was so difficult to chose only one image. This is perfect for the start of beach season here in Charleston. This is a painting that you can look at for a long time and still see new and interesting tidbits! The colors are spectacular and the lifeguard waving those flags is so perfect.

Read a blip about Stewart from his website:

Stewart White is a watercolorist from Baltimore, Maryland. He is one of the rare plein air painters using the medium of watercolor. His background in architectural illustration adds to his skill set and his paintings reflect his knowledge of good design. Stewart’s paintings have the pleasing combination of good structure with a painterly style. He is a transparent watercolorist  in the purest tradition of watercolor painters. Where as watercolor expresses its nature as fluid  oil paint is stiff and seems to want to be expressed in a thick and buttery way. 

He studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and after serving 3 years in the US Army he returned to graduate from UC Berkeley with a BFA. He works as an architectural illustrator and designer. His watercolors both in his architecture illustrations and in painting competitions have won him many awards. In June 2009 he was invited to teach a workshop in Paris on his techniques for architectural watercolors to an organization of architects. He continues to teach in Paris every other year. 

Stewart is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein-Air Painters Association (MAPAPA). He exhibits his paintings in juried and gallery exhibitions on the East Coast and in Plein Air competitions. He is the Grand Prize Winner of the prestigious Easton Plein air Festival (2009) He was a featured artist in McBride Gallery’s June 2009 exhibit: “Rising Stars: 10 Artists to Watch.”  Stewart is a member of the American Impressionists Society(AIS), a signature member of the National Watercolor Society ( NWS),

The American Watercolor Society (AWS) and past President (2012) of The American Society of Architectural Illustrators (ASAI).
