While in New Orleans I was graciously given permission to take photos in two gorgeous antique stores. I cannot remember which store this image belongs to, but the stores are Balzac Antiques and Petricia Thompson Antiques, both on Magazine Street. The light was perfect, quiet and non-insistant, but nevertheless beautiful. There was something stunning to see everywhere. I'll be painting more of these in coming weeks.

Trying Ebay Once Again

I have relisted 4 paintings on ebay--once again testing the ebay waters. All are listed at $48. Copying and pasting the site addresses did not work for me this time. You can go to ebay and put connie snipes in the search box and a page with all my painting will magically appear. I'll be listing one each week day night this month. Connie

Lynn's Garden

I have long admired this yard while passing by on my daily walk. I met the owner, and she graciously let me paint there. I spend a delightful couple of hours in her garden yesterday afternoon.

Empty Easel

I have been out of town (class reunion) and then had company, so the easel is empty. I have so missed my daily painting and will definitely post a new painting tomorrow. Please check back. Connie

Afternoon Grazing, Union County, NC

Cows are so funny. Before I could finish the cows dotted around the pasture, they all came to the fence, all facing the same way, all looking at me painting.

Spring in Union County, NC

The little yellow spring flowers made an almost perfect Z in the pasture. I thought that might look a somewhat contrived, so I softened the shape. It was a beautiful day for painting--warm, gentle breeze, no humidity

Beginning a Painting

I have no finished painting to post today, so I am posting three paintings in various stages of "unfinishedment". It's interesting to see the progress of a painting. Sometimes I love the beginning much better than the finish.



On the landscape, you can see new lines drawn to correct some shapes. They will not show in the finished painting.

This one just need a little tweaking, plus adding the pile of logs in front and adding the gate. You can currently see the shadow of the gate on the red shed.

The painting above, an antique shop interior, is drawn and somewhat blocked in. Everything is extremely loose and experimental at the beginning.

Working the Field

9x11, oil on masonite

This painting has been varnished, hence the strange color of the hedgerow behind the farm equipment. I have not yet figured out how to advoid the glare of varnish.

I will be out of town through next Tuesday. Please check back then for a new posting.
