Spring is on the way-at least down off the mountain. Up on the Blue
Ridge we get spring a month or so later than in the flatlands. I
learned the hard way that you need to wait until Mother's Day to plant
flowers, etc. But I hope your winter was mild and the year has started
well with you.
As for me, let me share with you my artistic journey and plans for this
year. Those of you who visit Blowing Rock or live in this area will be
familiar with Bass Lake, part of the Cone Estate and part of the Blue
Ridge Parkway National Park. I am doing a series of paintings featuring
Bass Lake and its surroundings. I often do plein air paintings around
the lake, and perhaps I will see you one day this spring as I paint and
you stroll around the lake. I also plan to have a series of paintings
of views from the Parkway in the Blowing Rock area. One of my favorite
areas is the Raven Rocks overlook just behind where I live.
I will be attending a workshop in Boulder, Colorado, with Mark
Boedges-my third with him-in June. Then, July 4-10, I will be the
Artist in Residence at the Edgewood Cottage in Blowing Rock. This is a
juried program sponsored by the Historical Society of Blowing Rock, and
it is a barrel of fun! I have been selected for the program for several
years now, and last year due to unforeseen circumstances I had two
weeks at the cottage, during which about 70 of my paintings found a
home.
Thank you to all of you who collect my paintings, and I hope you will
drop by the Edgewood Cottage during the week of July 4-10 for a chat.
But if you do, be careful because as you stroll through the cottage
looking at my work, you may hear a painting whisper that it wants to go
home with you! If you hear that, perhaps you should listen. For
previews of this summer's paintings during my week at the cottage,
visit earldavisfineart.com. I will be posting new paintings almost
daily.
