Original Oil & Watercolor Paintings
We don’t usually get much snow where we live during winter. But the 2017-18 winter has been spectacular! My husband took a photo from one of our winter hikes of this view we had of the First Broad River. This is a highly textured oil painting that is a 35 x 12″ gallery wrap that is custom framed and available for sale for $475.
This interesting old barn with all its lines and little openings is on a back road in the NC mountains near Burnsville, NC. We found it on a day trip riding through the mountain two-lane roads. SOLD
This great blue heron is one of the thousands of water birds that live in Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. We found this one perched on a boardwalk that runs out into the salt marsh.
Framed Watercolor • 20 x 16″ • $750 SOLD
I’ve been working on two watercolors recently. I’ve completed one of them: “Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station, Outer Banks, NC”, 22 x 16″, $700 which includes matting and framing. This the restored Chicamacomico Life Saving Station in Rodanthe NC, on Hatteras Island. Before the Coast Guard, there were life saving stations scattered up and down the Outer Banks, which were staffed by local men who watched for ship wrecks and tried to rescue sailors. This one has been restored and preserves much history of bygone days on the Outer Banks.
And a second is in progress:
My newest painting is an oil on gallery wrap canvas called “Mountain Cabin.” I just love finding these old barns! Getting the texture of the old wood is a challenge I very much enjoy tackling.
The holiday season is a busy time at Buffalo Creek Gallery. I have been busy making a number of mini paintings, which are so fun to do! Each of these pieces is 3″ x 4″ and comes with a mini easel to display the original artwork. They are $40 and on sale now at the gallery.
Wishing everyone a very merry holiday and a happy new year, too!
