Watercolors, Cats, Dogs, and Lakes

This is a picture of my latest painting that I just received back from the Summer Art Show at Sycamore Shoals Historic Site. It had been on display for a few months.

Green Eyes by Kimberly McCarron

I also did one of my dog, but I don't think it came out quite as good. Although some friends convinced me to use it in my Aussiedoodle T-shirt design on Zazzle.

And the very latest, hot off the drawing board... Life is Better @TheLake. I really liked doing this painting. It is so inviting and relaxing. I liked it so much that I used it in a few different product designs including a really cute note card.

I have a good friend who has been very sick lately and in and out of the hospital. He saw a photo of the unfinished painting, and told me he liked it because it reminded him of the movie "Beaches", So, I am giving him the finished painting... I just need to find a nice frame.

WVAL Summer Art Show

Just wanted to share a quick announcement. The Watauga Valley Art League is holding its 21st annual art show at the Sycamore Shoals Historical Site from June 28 to July 26, 2015. The People's Choice awards will be announced at 2:45 pm on June 28th during the Artist reception. (This means if you want to vote on your favorite artist or artwork, you must do so on June 28th between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm.)

I don't understand the reason for not allowing more time for the public to view and vote on the entered pieces, but that is just the way of things.

There will be lots of beautiful works of art from local artists and WVAL members. (There will also be snacks, and refreshments) PLEASE COME BY DURING THE RECEPTION and VOTE!
