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!

Forgotten in the Autumn Aspens

Autumn is a beautiful time of year!  It means winter is just around the corner and I LOVE winter!  Don't get me wrong, spring and summer are great, but, in the northeastern part of North Carolina, where I live, summer means it's too hot and way too humid to really enjoy the outdoors.  It's like a sauna outside in the summer! Anyway... Autumn is a lovely time out here.  It's finally slightly less hot and humid and my husband and I can finally enjoy the outdoors.  While the North Carolina climate may not support aspen trees, I can at least pretend!   Plus, the colorful foliage makes a nice contrast with the white bark of those trees. From sketch to painting I get inspired by everything I see, whether it be driving around out in the country side or just browsing pinterest... yeah, I know...LOL.  My landscapes are usually scenes I'd like to imagine myself walking in.  It's usually something that has been forgotten and so exciting to discov...

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...

The Old into the New.

 So... I've been browsing my old sketchbooks.  They date back years.  As I flipped through them, I realized there were quite a few sketches that caught my eye.  So, why not try to paint some of them up!   I love to draw, doodle, sketch, whatever.  It's easy and you can literally spend all day at it or five minutes.  My sketchbooks aren't pretty.  They're not perfect or colorful masterpieces.  They're things that get recorded from spontaneity or inspiration.  I've filled them with small sketches, mostly 2.5"x3.5", so there are quite a few on a single page.  Plus, notes and dribbles of my mind at wander.  It's a great thing, to be able to unload scenes and images that flash through my brain during the day.  If I don't sketch them, my ADHD will move on and a potentially great image will be forever lost! Why this particular drawing?  It has a good composition and nice tones.  But it really speaks of a warm summe...
