Welcoming Blossoms ~ Orlando Brown House, Frankfort

Judy — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:11:26 +0000

On June 1, 2010, our Kentucky Watercolor Society plein air group met and painted on the grounds of Liberty Hall and the Orlando Brown House in Frankfort, KY. This is the painting I produced that morning and it and paintings by several other artists will be matted, framed and on display in the Orlando Brown House June 19th through July 23rd. For those not familiar, the Orlando Brown House is noted for being a gallery for Paul Sawyer’s watercolors.

Flowers and Pumpkins

On Tuesday, I met with several plein air friends down at the KWS Gallery at Mellwood Arts and Entertainment Center. During the spring and summer months, when the weather permits, this group goes to various sites in and around Louisville to paint outside (hence, “plein air”). This year, when the weather turned cooler and we usually break until spring, it was decided to keep painting and it was moved indoors at the center. The group brought items for a still life set up and this painting is my version of it. I loved the purple vase with the yellow complementary flowers and made that my focal area.

Blue Vase Shadows

I began this painting as a demonstration for my students in my watercolor class in Lake Forest, showing mingling of the paint colors for each petal of the flowers. It took several months to complete back at my studio. It is custom matted and framed (cherry wood frame) to 18×22″ and is currently on display at the Trio Salon in Middletown at Moser Road.

Amaryllis

A couple of winters ago, a very good friend of ours gave my daughter, Sara and I an amaryllis bulb kit for the holidays. I have never had one and, to be honest, wasn’t even sure what an amaryllis looked like. We were both totally amazed at the rate these flowers grew. It would grow so rapidly, I’d swear it would grow an inch a day. I had no idea there was such a thing. It was so beautiful that when it was fully in bloom I took dozens of photos and developed several paintings. This was one of my favorites.

Sautee Table

Sautee is in White County, Georgia in the northern part of the state, just minutes to Helen…another wonderful tourist site. It is in a beautiful area. I attended a Charles Reid workshop there a few years ago and photographed this table setting while there.

Pink Peony

Photographed at the Whitehall Mansion’s peony gardens two years ago, this is one of my favorites. I have painted two other versions of this painting as commissions, each slightly different–one a 5×7″ and the other a 22×28″.
