Kyle Ma. Wow. His work is exquisite. Especially given the number of years that he’s been on Earth (born 2000) – talent and hard work sure does pay off – You’ve got to check out his paintings – they are stunning. Clean, fresh, the light is amazing – subjects are interesting, composition is fabulous – Keep an eye on this guy, he’s going far! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Kyle Ma!”

Jeremy Duncan. He paints small paintings, gouache on paper, and they are stunning. Check with him often because his work seems to sell quickly. I’m in love the with the sunrise/sunset paintings as well as his fire studies – they are incredible! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Jeremy Duncan!”
Erik Koeppel. His paintings are so well executed, they are reminiscent of paintings from long ago. Erik captures the landscape and even the atmosphere! This Monhegan painting is a beauty. If you aren’t familiar this painting is Monhegan Island in the foreground and Manana Island in the distance. In the fall the sun sets behind Manana, and you get this fabulous lit up sky that will just make your jaw drop. Continue reading “Featured Artist: Erik Koeppel!”
The azaleas are blooming in Charleston and they are plentiful, especially on our street. We live in an older neighborhood and just about every house has azaleas that were planted years ago and some are quite big, they are blooming and look so happy right now.
I thought I would take a moment to showcase the white azaleas that you don’t see quite as often as the bright pink (seen in photo above). We have a few white azaleas and the rest are the bright pink.
There is a rule with azaleas. No trimming until after they bloom. Break that rule and you get no blooms. I know… every few years they get leggy and we cut them back, and last year it wasn’t at the optimal time. This year we will cut them all back after the blooming is over and we should be good for next year. I love when the entire street blooms at the same time (that doesn’t always happen). It’s stunning!
Happy Saturday!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Barb Sohn. An amazing artist from Canada. Her paintings of islands grabbed my attention on Instagram – there is nothing like a vacation to an island (of any kind) – and she captures them so perfectly! I love the bright colors in her paintings! Don’t you feel like you are getting ready to go out on the water in a boat when you look at this painting… Nice!
Dvele. Remember that name, because you will be seeing it more and more. Modern prefab homes (in the best possible way) and offer the ultimate in luxury. These homes can do as much (dim your lights, lock your doors, draw the blinds) or as little as you like. These are the homes of the future and it’s pretty exciting. Modular building is smart because it’s being built in a controlled environment.
I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent on their website, it’s fabulous and FULL of information! Also be sure to check out their blog!
Hester Berry. An artist from the UK with a wonderful and loose painting style. I love her strokes of paint, each deliberate and geometrical in a way. Love the light in the clouds and on the beach. She has a variety of subjects – I think you will love them all! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Hester Berry!”
This is a comforting recipe that is especially good when the weather is chilly. My “recipes” are more like guides – add more of what you like and less of what you don’t. That’s how you come up with the very best results! Continue reading “Grandma’s Ham & Cabbage with Potatoes and Carrots…”
Dogwood blooms are so interesting – so pretty in the Spring! Read this interesting blip below regarding their blooms! Continue reading “Dogwood Bloom & Easter…”
Just here to wish everyone a happy Saturday! Sending an image of
a live oak with the sun hitting the draping Spanish Moss and highlighting the resurrection fern – which is quite a miracle. Looks crispy and dead one moment and if a splash of rain hits it, turns bright green like the healthiest fern you’ve ever seen. Continue reading “Spanish Moss in Our Live Oak Trees”
This cemetery is located on Monhegan Island in Maine….. Continue reading “Monhegan Cemetery in Fog”
It’s always so exciting just getting to this point. To the point where you see the “Welcome to Port Clyde” sign hanging as you get ready to board the boat to Monhegan Island. Peace and tranquility are coming soon! The long days spent walking, eating, watching are on their way, woohoo! Continue reading “Monhegan Boat Line – Port Clyde, ME”
Alberto Ortega – an artist originally from Spain now living in North Carolina. The way he captures every day living is so unique. Alberto’s paintings don’t need people in them, I can totally envision the people that live in this house just by the way he set the scene – I can think of so many stories just from this one image which is what makes it so unique. Continue reading “Featured Artist: Alberto Ortega!”
An abstract painting? Something from outer space?
I subconsciously am always on the lookout for a cool photo no matter the subject. Sometimes it’s the way light hits or the way shadows form. Sometimes it’s something interesting and different and sometimes it’s an everyday item/occurrence seen in a different light. Continue reading “What is this?”
