Splash Art Event




Today's post is still art related, but it's going to be about the excellent art event that happens every year in my town of Elizabeth City, NC.  It's a great art event that anyone can join at all levels in their art career.  We have instructors who are professionals in their respective fields to help guide you on your artistic journey.  You can visit Arts of the Albemarle's website for more information on the instructors.



We also have a wonderful open studio where artists can set up their work space.  It's a great opportunity to meet up with friends or make new ones!  We can share ideas and techniques and just be creative with other creatives!  The studio has such amazing energy during this time!

The Plein Air Paint-Out and contest also takes place during the week.  If you love painting outdoors, Elizabeth City has such wonderful temperate weather in late October and November.  The air fairly zings with autumn crispy goodness!

Arts of the Albemarle hosts a First Friday Art Walk that takes place during Splash week.  Artwork is on display from our participating artists.  It's so cool because it's like walking through a live art museum! 

The whole town participates during this week.  B&B's have discounts for Splash artists, restaurants are packed and main street is alive!

It was such a fun experience last year that I'm going again.  If you have a passion to create, please consider joining us.  There's still time to register!

2024 Updates

January 2024 Update I have been quiet on social media lately.  There is a reason.  These cooler months are a good downtime.  I can get other stuff done, like resupplying and focusing on family.   It's not all sunshine and roses, however.  There were art exhibits and my framed pieces are on low supply as they are pretty much everywhere!   In January, there was a Wood and Fiber Art Exhibit at Arts of the Albemarle where several of my tree paintings were featured.   Also in January, I taught a workshop on Line & Wash at Arts of the Albemarle.  Line and wash is so much fun and everyone was delightful! Time for Wine - RLDavis 2023 I am currently taking a pottery class as well.  It's a nice diversion from painting.  And a chance to get to know another way to artistically express myself. Ceramic Bowl Four paintings went to the Nasamond Suffolk Academy's Annual Juried Fundraiser where two paintings were sold. Our Albemarle Regional Paint Out Pals group continues to sketch throu

Urban Sketching

This year I ventured into teaching an Urban Sketching class.  It's more of a basic skill building class than anything.  We're firming up our observational and drawing skills while adding those touches of personality with color.  It's an amazing insight into how we perceive our surroundings and how they appear on our paper.  It's also a great segue into en Plein Air painting.  I'm grateful for this opportunity.  I get to paint with some amazing people, explore our local area with locations I've never been or have overlooked.  I get to see the area in a different light every time.  I'm fascinated by the nooks and crannies that can be found all over the place.  There's so much to be inspired by even if they are mundane and everyday subjects. I chose just four watercolor paints, Gamboge, Ultra Blue and Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet for my main mixing and a Cobalt Turquoise for pop.  The three main colors create an array of warm grays, browns, oranges and greens

Monday Musings

 Monday Musings and a New Year ahead... Hello everyone.  I hope your Holiday was joyous and filled with family and friends.  May you all have a wonderful 2023. 💖  I'll start out musing about some new colors Santa brought me.  I got the autumn color set with the small palette and Zan's Sun-kissed trio set all by the Da Vinci Paint Co. In total about nine different colors.  There were a couple I already had but there were at least five I'll be trying in the future.   I'm especially excited about the Gold Ochre (PY42, PY83) and the Alizarin Gold (PR177, PY42).  I think both of those will work extremely well with the Prussian Blue.   I'll be doing tests of those colors soon. It's always fun getting new colors.  The possibilities is what keeps creativity going.  On a colder musing: We had some pretty chilly days leading up to the Holidays.  The wind blasted across Eastern NC with a vengeance.  We had freezing temps for several days.  Though, it seems mild considerin
