TRANQUILITY

8" by 8" original oil on artists board

The last two days I have been working on my newsletter and was so happy when I remembered that I had this painting that I had not posted yet.  It is another inspired by a trip to South Carolina and this is one that I am stumped for a name and hoped you could help me out it.  You can leave me a comment below or contact me by e-mail at normasart@cox.net.   I also got quite a few suggestions from friends on facebook last week which I really appreciate.  If you have not already signed up for my newsletter, please add your e-mail to my sign up box.  I have some valuable coupons in my newsletters and upcoming events and featured artists. Thank you to Roxanne Steed for being my featured artist in this month's newsletter.  In the article I mentioned that she and I had met at a gallery in Virginia Beach but did not say where and it was at a great gallery on Norfolk Avenue right off of Pacific Avenue called The Artists Gallery.  If you are local, you must stop by and see all the beautiful work they have and their Summerscapes show this month is all about the beach and surfing.  It runs through the 17th of August.

Shrimp Boats Is A Comin' SOLD

6" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

More fun with knives!  Besides being a blast to work with...the best part is that I only used two different knives and all you have to do is wipe them off and clean up is done!  I loved this shrimp boat and the bright stripes on it.  It caught my

eye and I just had to paint it!  I found this video that I thought was appropriate

to the subject and has a fun song about shrimping.  Enjoy!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Virginia Artist Sailboat Seascape Manteo Art

Little Sailboats  SOLD

6" by 8" original oil on linen canvas board.

Last week I spent the weekend in Manteo, North Carolina on the outer banks. On an evening

stroll along the waterfront we spotted some little sailors in these cute sailboats. It was fun to
watch them maneuver about and I was inspired to paint this scene.

Boat Study

Boat Study

More thoughts about being at the beach today. I like this piece as it makes me think of adventures not yet taken....summer days filled with possibilities. Perhaps I have a bit of Huckleberry Finn in me and like to think of the freedom to pack a lunch and take a boat out into the water and float out into blue green waters for a day of exploration....want to join me?
