This time I managed to get a digital image large enough to make a small poster available along with the other options (matted print, laminated print, greeting card, framed print, etc.). If there’s a lot of interest in this format, I’ll certainly try to go back and get suitable images of older paintings. If you are interested in a poster of a particular image, please let me know!

This painting is based on this photograph by the very talented Dawne Olson, who graciously gave her permission for me to use her image as a reference.
In other news, Nick and Lark was featured in the Impressionist Art group at Redbubble. It happened a few days ago, and I was slow to report it, but it should still be on the front page of that group for a few more days.
There’s still free shipping (through October 30) going on at RedBubble for a few more days, so if you like this painting, now would be a good time to buy a print!

“While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.” —Flannery O’Connor
I was saving this for closer to Halloween, but the Halloween-related contests are already getting started on RedBubble.
In other news, I am delighted to report that Rose has been featured in the RedBubble Painted Florals group!

I finished this up last night. The square format and small size don’t really lend themselves to the types of prints available on RedBubble, so I’ve just made the original available; no prints this time.
This was from a reference photo I took earlier this year at Lake Oconee near Wallace Dam. The reference photo had a lot more white in it (the sky, the far bank) that competed with the blossoms, so I had to make a lot of changes. When I get this far from the “real” photo, it sometimes feels like I’m walking a tightrope and that I might lose my balance and end up with a not-very-good painting, but I’m pretty happy with the result this time around.
While I’ve been painting, I’ve been listening to a beautiful piece of music, Ave Generosa, over and over again, trying to learn it before the choir I just joined sings it Sunday morning. I haven’t been in a choir in a LONG time, and I’m really rusty at reading music, much less trying to sing in Latin! It’s so beautiful, though. Embedding has been disabled, but you can hear it on YouTube here. I’m not sure if the viewer can “see” any of the music in the painting, but I think this painting and that music are forever intertwined in my mind.
And, of course, it’s September 11. I was remiss in preparing a blog post for today, but I have NOT forgotten the day or those who died, and I am grateful for the heroic responses of emergency personnel that day and every day, as well as the soldiers who serve our country and protect our freedom. God has blessed this country richly with heroes, and I pray that He continues to bless the USA.
