OCEAN CITY BLOCK PARTY

MAY 3RD is the SPRING Block party in Ocean City. I have many new paintings and will also have the sweat shirts with my photo on them both in white and Navy Blue with hoods. Look for us at the ocean side at the Tabernacle grounds.

This is a photo of my booth and will be looking for you to come by....hope we have good weather as last fall it was rained out.

A MORNING AT KUERNER' FARM

I am excited. This Saturday, I will be going to the Kuerner Farm that Andrew Wyeth painted and sketched so frequently. We will have the morning to paint and sketch all over the farm. Here is a photo I took when I toured the farm awhile ago.

I will bring my sketch book and some watercolor paper and sketch and hopefully have an opportunity to paint. So look for some new paintings based on my walk around this famous farm.

Watercolors and the pace of life

When people look at my watercolors, they often say the seem peaceful and find themselves stopping for a minute to look and reflect on their life. You see, when I often see a building, maybe a front porch or an old basket that says something to me........and opens my eyes to a possible painting. I never see a painting in busy traffic or the hustle and bustle of a crowded city. Life is so busy today for everyone so I like to paint things that remind me living life at a slower pace. For example, when I see an old abandoned house that seems to raise questions like...who lived there or what their life was like? When I walked into our old barn that used to be a sheep farm many years ago, what was like in 1906 when it was built...or I looked out the back window at the lake and heard the geese honking. I want to try to capture that atmosphere in a painting with my brush. So if you find my paintings make you pause and raises a question like---where is my life going, what am I doing with my life and the pace I live, then let me know.
I am one painter who desires to listen to the still small voice of God. That He might lead me closer to Him. In doing so, maybe I can help someone else find that voice and His comfort. If you feel a desire to spend some time each day reflecting on what God can say to you, let me know and I can give you some help. Blessings Bruce
