it's going to be a fabulous day with over 80 individual artists, lots of live music and, yes, food!
The best of Athens come out for this occasion....and the artwork will be very varied in price and type so as to suit everyone.
I have a bunch of new paintings and some new quilts, also some older work that will be for sale for ridiculous prices! Something for every wall, and every pocket.. Please come and see!
The fun starts at 10 am and if I know anything about events at Lyndon House, the parking will go pretty quickly....of course there will be considerable turnaround during the day...but the early birds get both worms and parking! Lyndon House has also arranged with all the nearby businesses and organizations for extra parking, of course.
Here are some of my new paintings and a couple of new quilts:
$100. I hope to have 3 more little acrylic landscapes by Saturday...they'll make a nice set!
Watercolors range from $25 to $150...depending on size, age and whether framed or not.
Our summer trip to the south Carolina coast had me inspired by the dunes...love the shadows you get in the early morning and late in the day.....
below, more dunes, palm trees in the wind and a storm brewing - quite prescient as it turned out!

| More hydrangeas, and some Black eyed Susans... |

| A very bright light day where the sun dazzles... |
Imagining some of the golf course trees in the winter...there are lovely little copses of trees standing on slight rises.....
also did a painting of the pond at the golf course....which I don't have a picture of ....yet!

| Looking out from the art room window at Athens Academy with a strange chiaroscuro sky.... |
 |
| The view from an upstairs window in early spring...love those delicate yellow greens... |

| A tiny little abstract based on autumn foliage... |
And here's a medium size one...yes it IS a quilt - or fiber collage as some prefer to call these "art quilts" that hang on the wall.
Thank you for working your way down and looking at all the pictures!!! I hope to see you at the art show.....if you can't come, and are interested in any of these pieces, please just write to me - my email link is on the side bar near the top.
Also, all comments are received with great delight!!!
If you have been, thanks for looking!! Elizabeth

Thank you so very much for this wonderful post. I really enjoyed seeing this version of your world. Oregon is a long way from Georgia as you well know. You are so very talented and so generous to share those talents.

These were fun to see. I'd love to see your work in person. Do you think your quilt art style will change at all because of your painting?
Thank you Mary Helen and Melanie for your comments! Much appreciated.
I'm hoping that my quilt designs will be all the stronger for getting a lot more practice in composition with the paintings - for the design and compositional process is the same in both media (and several other media too come to that!)....so I think one of the problems with quilts is that you don't get enough practice at designing and seeing how it turns out...because it's such a slow process.
