I'm very excited that 2 of my pieces, "Cherry Blossom Time" and "Red Dress", are finalists in the Southern Appalachian Artists Guild 2013 National Exhibition in Blue Ridge, GA. This is always a beautiful exhibit. If you feel like driving to the mountains for the colorful fall foliage, you must go admire the show. The show runs October 5th - November 9th. Opening Reception is October 19th, 5 - 7pm at The Art Center, 420 West Main St., Blue Ridge, GA. Hope to see you there!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Commission a portrait for any occasion or reason. Portraits don't have to be the traditional person sitting in a chair staring forward. A beautiful, lasting piece of fine art that commemorates a special person doing something they love or just being themselves is interesting for anyone to to admire, whether they know the person or not. The painting below was a graduation gift for a daughter who is a rider.</div>

I had so much fun painting this white horse. I used a very limited palette of only Underpainting White, Titanium White, Ultramarine blue, Cadmium Red, Ivory Black and Yellow Ochre. I loved getting a lot of texture in the background and using a gallery wrapped canvas. It's nice to do something different for a change. I love painting portraits but this is fun too. I'll be doing more of these!

I was really looking forward to painting this one because she is just so cute! I love the monogram on her dress and the contrast of the pinks in her bow and dress with the greens and yellows of the background. I'm pretty sure I captured her personality and confidence! Her parents were thrilled to get it.Leah Hopkins Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12342069011238707344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436870863878141863.post-27018844958906485952011-12-28T20:21:00.000-05:002011-12-28T20:21:25.137-05:00From Photo to Final DrawingHere is another drawing that I did before Christmas. My client wanted to capture a photo of his parents from when they were engaged to be married. His father had recently passed away and he wanted a drawing to share with his family. The original photo was taken in 1958 in Alexandria, Egypt. As the drawing progressed, my client & I discussed some slight deviations from the original like lightenening some of the shadows, but all in all, I think I captured the feel of that moment. He also wanted a more consistent look of the sign in the background (not weathered as much). It doesn't really show in my photo but I used a creamy ivory paper to make it look a little aged. I think he was pleased.<br />

I felt very drawn to do something. My intention was to have an exhibition of many works this year, sell them and have the proceeds go back to Haiti. I haven't had as much painting time as I had hoped so the project will moved to next year. Someone said to me that they just can't help with anything for Haiti because it is so much of a lost cause and there is nothing anyone can do. There are so many missions and non-profits really making a difference in the lives of the people there. They give the children hope and make them happy at least for a while.Your donations can help one child or help build a school, or bring fresh water to an area. You can make a difference more than you know. There are many ways to help - just a little goes a long way. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #00001c; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 19px; font-weight: 800;"><i> </i></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #00001c; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 19px; font-weight: 800;"><i><br />

All of the artists in this exhibit are mothers and they were asked to have their child or grandchild write about what it meant to have an artist for a mother. Below is what my son Zach wrote. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">An artist for a mother…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having a mother that’s an artist is pretty fun. I mean, you get to go to a lot of cool exhibits and travel a lot of places! I also benefit from the talent that was passed to me through her. I’m a pretty good artist I have to say. How can you not like it? Some times it does get hard though, because she has to paint and draw a good amount of the day. I don’t like it only because of the things that I benefit from; I like the art that she draws. I mean having a talented mother who paints and draws beautiful things is the only thing that I really like it for. I really love her and I love what she does! It’s great to have an artist for a mother.</div>Leah Hopkins Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12342069011238707344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436870863878141863.post-91567537215181236522011-04-13T00:26:00.000-04:002011-04-13T00:26:44.692-04:002 Pieces in "Dogwood in Springtime" at AAC<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsawcZAA0xSAKhMAMrkXuENOClrZPVHrOyNGWw-8cG_m5MP5bqelT-XcPH16Vd11Mpk5sPF_ralYpWfsjAFZ8K5PMWxOb8KWBsbaAaUgdymhaqMBJI_kpxCpsxXAxXy6npBE5eTwx/s1600/scsunset-vista.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsawcZAA0xSAKhMAMrkXuENOClrZPVHrOyNGWw-8cG_m5MP5bqelT-XcPH16Vd11Mpk5sPF_ralYpWfsjAFZ8K5PMWxOb8KWBsbaAaUgdymhaqMBJI_kpxCpsxXAxXy6npBE5eTwx/s400/scsunset-vista.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJ8phgaf8HPyWeOaC18w2MtfzqoFRqVKvFeEdfn8e1oQrmoXnrs8J23mNNGITxFoKQnhlVJJe2Ph4RB1fw5Eti0szi1wWOIjbt6Iuj-6xM50H-9BT7WzYt5dRd0gY0DGBRNCU9nFC/s1600/ALittleReassurance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJ8phgaf8HPyWeOaC18w2MtfzqoFRqVKvFeEdfn8e1oQrmoXnrs8J23mNNGITxFoKQnhlVJJe2Ph4RB1fw5Eti0szi1wWOIjbt6Iuj-6xM50H-9BT7WzYt5dRd0gY0DGBRNCU9nFC/s400/ALittleReassurance.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>"A Little Reassurance" and "South Carolina Sunset" have been accepted into "Dogwood in Springtime."

It was fun to capture the their personalities. I loved the opportunity to paint a somewhat abstract painting in the background of a traditional portrait. The painting in the background was created in 1987 by Barbara Kerstetter, an artist whose work is collected worldwide. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this one. I can't wait to deliver it this weekend.Leah Hopkins Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12342069011238707344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436870863878141863.post-30113527943086025242011-01-22T21:01:00.001-05:002011-01-22T21:01:49.737-05:00Daniel completed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQkjjJGAXzufhd9NpE_a2J85egHOxLPIxQ8opL2rikU18ZNcTdWNpWR3ghzNfUEOK6fsJBOv7JioLWkgsC3pBVum0gDFOlQ1zzCZaas0CsosyiOlIPBtRMGCfcIgAgZz5aFcbfbtHf/s1600/Daniel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQkjjJGAXzufhd9NpE_a2J85egHOxLPIxQ8opL2rikU18ZNcTdWNpWR3ghzNfUEOK6fsJBOv7JioLWkgsC3pBVum0gDFOlQ1zzCZaas0CsosyiOlIPBtRMGCfcIgAgZz5aFcbfbtHf/s400/Daniel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is the completed portrait.

I'm getting close to finishing it but I still see things I need to work on. Daniel is the brother of Maddalena, who I painted in December 2008. They both have the lightest blue eyes I've ever seen, as well as light blonde hair, fair skin and very red lips. I think I've definitely captured the likeness, just need to do some finessing. I'll post a better picture (I took this one) when it's completed. I'm also working on a double portrait that I will post when it gets further along.Leah Hopkins Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12342069011238707344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436870863878141863.post-16777627890354942152010-12-23T22:40:00.001-05:002010-12-23T23:29:02.033-05:00Christmas Drawing and ...

It's been 4 years since anyone has been eligible. The portfolios of members who have reached juried status are thoroughly (really) graded on a point system by 3 prominent artists with different styles.

The butterflies are 8x10 oil on panel and the images are courtesy of my friend Maria Christina who loves to photograph them. The top one along with "South Carolina Sunset" (oil on panel, 12 x 16" ) will be in the Atlanta Fine Arts League Small Works Show & Sale at Binders Art & Frame, Buckhead. My good friend, Lila Campbell, took the sunset reference photo while on a wedding trip a few weeks ago. She is an awesome photographer. The second butterfly and "Chattahoochee" (oil, 6x12") will be for sale at the Jingle Bell Jubilee at Holy Innocents' School, Dec. 4th & 5th. Chattahoochee was painted by the river when I was with my artist friends. "Homemade Wine - Salerno" (oil/ panel, 8 x 11) will be part of the Rome Fine Wine Festival Silent Auction in Rome, GA, November 14th. The charcoal is a portrait commission I just completed last week.

I will definitely post more later about this event. This still life has certainly been in a lot of exhibitions but it's sold and this will be the last time it is exhibited for a while. </div><br />
