Ooh La La

Les Couleurs de Provence, 20 x 20

Last night was the Bastille Day show and celebration of all things francais chez Huff Harrington Fine Art, here in Atlanta.  What a scene!  Loads of people,  beaucoup du vin, much excitement, and lots of fresh work by gallery artists, and most fun of all, great pieces by recent provencal travelers on painting trips to Les Murets (hosted by me last year and Bill Davidson in May, 2012 ).

Glimpse of Gordes, 12 x 16

It's been a busy time, with trips to Colorado for the OPA National Exhibit, to South Carolina to spend time with Michael's family, and enjoying our Alaska kids here in Atlanta for the past week.  The  OPA show was great:  very impressive work, displayed beautifully at Evergreen Gallery in Colorado. Here is my painting on display, which happily sold at the opening : ) 

 



Back to real life now, with a workshop next Sunday on painting children, part deux, and catching up on everything else!

  3. So nice to see some of your new and beautiful work. Sounds like you had a lot of fun travel. I have been away from the easel a bit too and want to keep in mind all the things I learned from you as I get started painting again. Glad you are home safely.

  5. Beautiful paitings, Nancy!! The color, shadows, and brush strokes seem so effortless when done by you. I'm still in love with your painting I won at your Chattanooga workshop. Hope you will come back soon. Where does Michael's family live in SC? My son lives in Charleston. Karen Beard
