Lion Explosion Original 20″x16″ Oil Painting $670I still have a lot of beautiful nude drawings to share here. When I was in school I loved using different mediums to draw the model. Each medium has a unique expression and it is always fun to explore all the ways it can be used. There is no end to the different ways charcoal, ink, conte crayon, etc. can be used to enhance the drawing and make it something to be looked at for it’s own sake.
Although I like all styles of art, I have never understood the fascination with photo-realism, or, as some artists call it, hyper-realism. When an aritst seeks to copy what photographs capture I wonder that they don’t just make photography their medium. I have no problem copying a photograph or painting in a hyper-real style but I only do that if it is a commission. My work is about my reaction to what I see and how to put myself into it.

My husband and I come from a time period when not many people tattooed their body. Now it is rare to see people without tattoos. I love what one person said on Facebook in response to the fact he had no tattoos. He asked if the person had ever seen bumper stickers on a Ferrari. Don’t get me wrong. I am not against them, they just aren’t for me.
We were discussing this on a walk and my husband was a little ahead of me. I think many people will not like the way the tattoo looks as they age. He replied that they can be taken off. I said and it hurts, too! He laughed because he had just said it was a painful procedure. I didn’t hear him say that. Well, it does hurt!!!!!
I am so pleased to sell another print of A Break in the Clouds to a great Tennessee patron! This painting sure gets around! It is my second best-selling print and 24″x 36″ canvas prints of it at 40% reduced price are available for the next few days at Fine Art America! There is a 30 day money back guarantee that includes the shipping price!

I am real excited about my next series of paintings! I am going to do a number of large paintings of Pawleys Island including some sunset over the ocean scenes! It has been a while since I did a shore scene so I am looking forward to these new works.
I am going to do one more Kendall Expression painting and then get started. I have had a great time working on my own brand of Expressionism but I am anxious to get back to my own personal Impressionistic style. I really do live to paint and I love to find homes for my creations! I just mailed Small Flowers to a great Texas patron!
Here are two of my favorite Kendall Expressions paintings and the Youtube video I did on a number of them. I need to get back to making videos! I will soon!
The Cherokees have a tradition about healing waters in the Blue Ridge Mountains. According to legend there is a mysterious lake high up in the Smoky Blue Ridge mountains that all animals are aware of and trust to cure their wounds.
It is said that whenever a black bear is wounded by hunters it will go this lake and swim from one shore to the other and then be healed as soon as it reaches the other side.
Healing waters are a part of legends and myths of many cultures. Perhaps that is where we get the myth for the Fountain of Youth.
I found this story on Cherokee Myths and Legends of The Black Bear online publication.
