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 Reg...

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 f...

2024 Updates No.2

  Some ruins found at the Franny Reese State Park, New York. It's funny how a year can make and break you in moments.  I started this year out with high hopes. I wrote about my workshop, which was made possible by an artist grant from the NC Arts Council. I had everything booked and planned. However, before any of that could happen, a lot of things at home happened.  In the last week of April, my mother-in-law went into the hospital. She would be in and out of the hospital and rehab for several months... till mid July. My own mother has been battling cancer for the last eight years and had problems related to that in July and the end of September.  It would be nice to be there for both of them for their health issues, but I live in North Carolina and my family live in South Dakota. It's kind of a long, hard commute and not cheap. But, I did made it to the workshop. Michal Jasiewicz was amazing. His watercolor paintings are fantastic. His style is fun to paint. I lear...
