Gypsy's Leisure: November 2011
http://gypsyleisure.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. Riding the Ridge: Interlude- The Road to Willville. I pulled in to Willville Motorcycle Campground. Willville was more pleasant than most. From the moment I arrived and established my camp in the grass (no gravel tent pads here), the owner and other riders went out of their way to make me feel as if I'd been there for days. I parked my butt in one of the easy chairs under the shade of the central pavilion and didn't leave the camp for two days. Saturday, November 5, 2011.

Gypsy's Leisure: May 2010
http://gypsyleisure.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Repairs completed and weather warming, I packed the tent and sleeping bag on the bike and took off for an overnight to the Red River Gorge Geological Area. In 1985, an eastern section of the gorge set aside for natural study and in which no modern development of any kind occurs. In 1993, U.S. Congress indicated that a 19.4 mile section of the Red River. After which the area is named, be set aside as a National Wild and Scenic River. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Chain, Chain, Chain. A mot...

Gypsy's Leisure: Gathering Speed
http://gypsyleisure.blogspot.com/2012/02/gathering-speed.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. The first time I laid eyes on the book Gathering Speed. By David A. Braun, I knew I beheld something unusual and maybe even rare. I'd been coasting through general search of motorcycle related books on Amazon.com. That particular motorcycle left me stranded more times than I comfortably care to recall, mostly in uninteresting ways. But throw in a big woman and a drunken stupor and we've got the makings of something special. I digress. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Twisted...

Some of my reference photos. Painting "Elles Tobacco Planter". This is actually the first painting I have done with a distant mountain view. It's very much like the beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains from my own front porch. Artist Harley Brown. I like to use a really heavyweight watercolor paper, so I can wet it and rub away some of the pigment if I get too bold with my colors, as I tend to do! Along with "Grandpa's Fiddle Break,".

Art is not what you can see, but what you can make others see.". It's interesting that such a statement was made by an artist who suffered from vision problems. Since I learned a few days ago that I have a cataract in my left eye, I decided to explore how vision affects art. I don't have an explanation, but I had a cataract develop in my right eye at age 43, which really threw me off - weren't cataracts for old. Painless blurring of vision. Sensitivity to light and glare. Fading or yellowing of colors.

BLOG: Judy Lavoie Art and Gift Shop: New Notecards
http://judy-lavoie-art.blogspot.com/2015/02/new-notecards.html
Are my newest fine art notecards, reproduced from one of my most popular paintings. I've printed a limited quantity to see if they will be just as popular as the prints. Also, these notecards are the first I've had printed on a matte finish paper, which should make writing on them easy. When something unique and simple is called for. 2 for one package of notecards. 3 for 2 or 3 packages of notecards. 6 for 4 or 5 packages of notecards. Let me know what you think of these new cards!

Chalk up another painting with barbed wire for me! I guess it finds its way into so many of my paintings because old wire fencing is such a part of my environment. If I painted rural country landscapes from where I grew up in New England, lovely old fieldstone walls would grace the scenes. Incidentally, I've completed a few other paintings recently, but they are destined as holiday gifts. I'll share them with you here after Christmas so I won't ruin any surprises. You get to be surprised too!

New Release Giclee and More! By popular demand, I have created a limited edition giclee print of "Jerry Van, Music Man." The image area is 8"x10", surrounded by a white border to aid in framing. The textured paper I've used for the print is very similar to the watercolor paper I use and the color is beautifully true to the original watercolor. In fact, it looks like an original painting!
