The flowers blooming around Charlotte make it look like a whole new city - and in the spirit of Spring, I've got a whole new group of paintings uploaded on the site with more to come! Out with the old, and in with the new - if you saw paintings before that said "SOLD" they've been removed from the Paintings section and I'll put them on a different page so it's not confusing. And I've changed the layout of the Paintings page so it's easier to see the dimensions and pricing - now you can just look in the bottom left corner instead of having to hover your mouse over the photo.
Here are a few things that I've been up to since my last post in November:
My niece Catherine loved this photo and it turned out to be a great project! Can't wait to see it on her wall.
Commissions - My niece asked me if I could work on a commission piece for her this winter, which is ready to go finally! An interesting subject, the family's favorite room at the lake house - I balanced the bright yellow with some of the grey, blue and lavender hues in her home to create a piece that will add a pop to her space! The reflections on the glass and the bold colors made this a fun piece to work on. Remember, if you don't see what you're looking for on my site, you can always ask me to paint a one-of-a-kind painting just for you! Just email me at stephanytempleton@gmail.com and we can talk about your project!
A New Class - To make up one of the art classes I missed, I tried a new class on figures. I have loved drawing since college and don't get the chance to do it much anymore, so it was fun to jump back into portraiture mode and do some figure sketches. Here's one of my sketches of our model (clothed) that I may turn into a painting.
Painting up a Storm - I have been painting whenever I can to get ready for Spring. My friend Bennet and I are going to have a painting sale in April - more details to come on that! But here are some of the paintings I've completed so far. There are many more in the attic that just need a final finishing touch before they're ready to post or to sell. Look for more paintings in the coming weeks and for more information on the sale if you're interested in stopping by - paintings always look better in person, and Bennet and I would sure appreciate your support. If you have suggestions for types of paintings you'd like to see at the sale, post it in the comments below.
Hoping to add more paintings and updates soon - thank you for reading and checking out my work!
