Another WIP Wednesday: Missing Turtle

This was a piece I worked on a long long time ago. My mom wanted a seascape with a sea turtle, but working at this large size is a struggle for me. I have another commission now, that is the exact same size, and I am having the same struggle.

The turtle is finally finished now, I just need to take some good photos of it before posting. I am in love with the finished product, so I want to make sure the photo does it justice.

This piece was done completely in oil paint and the long dry times helped me greatly when working on the background. However, it does add time to the entire process.

On another note, getting good images of art is pretty difficult when they are too large to scan.

Winery Show!

There is a winery close to where I live that I visit. Just this past week, I began showing my art there for three months! Port of Leonardtown Winery in St. Mary's County Maryland is a co-op winery with all of their grapes and provided products being made in Maryland! As a fan as well as local artist, I am very happy to be showing here!

My husband took this photo of me hanging pieces, but you can also see my works on the wall behind me.

One wall completely finished.

Another Wall!

Finished! Enjoying my wine!

This is the rest of the tasting room, since I didn't take any pictures over here. :p

Let me know if you stop by and what you think of the wine! My favorite is their Vidalacato, followed by the Breton Bay Shoals, both of which are sweet.
