What's going on?



I'm beginning a new series tomorrow.  Check back tomorrow to see what's going on. I am also on Facebook and would like to be friends.  Connie Gatlin Snipes is how I am listed.

Across the Tracks

A deserted small town train depot is always a scene that begs to be painted.Add in a water tower for a vertical accent and the composition is complete. Painted from a photo I took on a trip through southeastern states, especially small towns.

Two Smalls


Aspens and Mountains
8x10
oil on canvas panel, gamvar varnish

This is a studio painting from a photo I took on a
painting trip to Jackson Hole.



Accumulations, Hunter Farm, Charlotte, NC

I belong to a group called the Plein Air Buds.  We meet at a different location
each Tuesday morning to paint.  Painting can be such an isolated
activity--so having friends to paint with and then go to
lunch and talk about art is the BEST!

I named it Accumalations because of the yard filled with, guess what?  Accumulations!
I may or may not have painted everything in the yard.
