I have more excuses than all the fish in the sea as to why my Club 47 challenge is obviously going to take me 147 to 247 days to complete. The important thing is... I will complete this challenge come h*!! or high water. :) 

I'd like to tell you about the exciting news in my studio. My daughter has started pre-school 3 days a week which allows me 15 more hours a week of painting time. This is a dream come true for my career as an artist! This comes at the most perfect time as I have been accepted as a fellow artist at Michael Mitchell Gallery downtown Charleston on King Street. Michael Mitchell is an amazing interior designer with a heart the size of an elephant and made of gold. You must visit the gallery at 438 King Street!



I hope you stay tuned and share my blog with all your friends as there will be a lot of exciting news and eye candy this fall and winter!

Just behind this grassy dune is the Atlantic Ocean. I love the dunes of Seabrook Island, SC they are full of thick vegetation and wildlife it is a spectacular site before stepping over to the ocean.

A second take on Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. My family and I LOVE Glacier! If you have not been it is the most grand and spectacular landscape you have ever experienced. The mountains and glaciers soar up into the sky forever while the most amazing colors dance in the glacial waters. The rocks in Lake McDonald are rich in siennas, reds, purples, pinks, greens, blues....basically the entire rainbow can be found in the rocks alone. The wildflowers are a sight and Oh did I mention the grizzly bears and mountain goats?!

47 paintings in the next 47 days, selling them for $47 a peice and I will donate $4.70 of each painting to Hospice.  I will personally match the amount earned from the sales of all paintings as well...Wow!

47 Paintings 47 Days, Hello Club 47!

Club 47 #1
5x7", oil on panel.

Yes I have joined a few, well a lot of artist friends in a challenge called Club 47. For each artist the challenge is different some are vowing to work out for 47 minutes a day. Others are going to do 47 sit ups a day and some will be painting 47 paintings for 47 days or all of the above. All in honor of supporting each other and the challenger artist Kimberly Conrad. Kimberly is turning 47 this year and has humbly poured out her need for support and cheer. Which couldn't we all us a little support and cheer? Heck Ya! 

I accepted Kimberly's challenge and will be painting 47 paintings in the next 47 days, selling them for $47 a peice and I will donate $4.70 of each painting to Hospice.  To me this challenge is important for a few different reasons.

1. To create a beautiful new series titled "Spirit Places"...more on "Spirit Places" later.

2. To support a cause I respect and the nurses I admire...Hospice. $4.70 of each sold painting will go to a Hospice Chapter in Montana.

3. To paint 47 small paintings EVERY day for 47 days in addition to my commissions, and larger paintings, this is simply a cool challenge and very doable. Yes doable is a word, I looked it up!

4. This challenge will keep me on track to accomplish my goal of exhibiting my paintings in a second gallery somewhere in the west by the end of the summer. Hopefully I will be accepted into a gallery in Denver, CO or Montana. Even though I live in the South and LOVE Charleston, I will always call the Rocky Mountains my home and would love to take my art home. 

So please help me support Hospice and bring my paintings home! Thank You!
