Artist Studio Tour Returns

After taking a year off, the annual Garrett County Artist Studio Tour resumes on July 24 and 25th.

The Studio is open both days from 11 am to 5 pm both days.  To see a complete list of artists and locations, click here. Also, pick up a tour guidebook at the Garrett County Arts Council and other locations around Garrett County.

Stop by to see new art and say hello. I look forward to seeing you!

The Pond at Lawton Stables

Hilton Head Island has been a gathering spot for our family for years. A wide variety of inspiration exists on this barrier island, from the beaches to grassy dunes, maritime forests, and wetlands. I posted some art from a vacation back in this post in 2020. 

One spot I like to paint is around the pond near Lawton Stables in Sea Pines Resort. Below are two pieces that developed after an afternoon of sketching around the pond.

Family Affair

Does art run in your genes? I’m not sure, but here is some work from my grandchildren. I might be biased, but I’m impressed!

First up is”Dolly” from my grandaughter. She created this clay sculpture in her high school Studio Art class recently.

Below is “Urban Waterscape”, acrylic on canvas, by my nephew, a sophomore at Penn State. He created this in his spare time.

Second in the Swallow Falls series

This is the second painting in the Swallow Falls series, called Drop-off.
