506 ArtSpace is a gallery in North Myrtle Beach.
Nice and cozy and worth visitng.
They recently hosted a small works exhibition. 
I entered a new piece. 



The piece I entered was one I was hoping to paint on a large
canvas at some point and time soon. I thought, how can I shrink the content into something
less than 12 x 12? I needed to do a study anyway and this seemed the 
perfect opportunity, I usually paint  raw and intuitively. Usually studies are NOT the norm. 
But when I say large, I mean I really wanted LARGE. The wisest thing to do despite my avoidance
of painting something more than once was to make a first draft.
I am glad I did. This painting placed Third, I am happy to say.
Please see the show before it ends December 22nd.
Lots of lovely pieces still for sale.
Support local art, Please. 

Each purchase, affords us more paints and surfaces
and all the many other little things we need.

Thank you.

the heart asks more than life can give By Rachel Jones  I’ve played around with this one for some time. I will think it’s finished only to look upon it  another time and make a little change here or a tweak there. This is a place where Nature, fantasy, and humanity merge in a feast for the senses. I was thinking the other day how much energy some put into searching out the differences and what separates people instead of realizing the similarities far outweigh the perceived differences. There is such beauty and diversity in nature. And oh how beautifully it wraps its arms around the earth and asks for nothing. There for our enjoyment and to nourish.  Happy Monday. -r

A Painting’s Story.

Image
Let’s look at the story of a painting.  I love nature. These days technology is an essential part of life. We’ve become so dependent upon it that some studies say 70% suffer from Nomophobia. Even new words have been created. We enjoy it and in some instances, NEED it. But, I still dream of my toes in thick grass. On my back facing the sky finding shapes in clouds. Listening to creatures “creature-ing”… Silence. The smell of chlorophyll. Nature’s damp and soft breezes. I try to tell that story in My paintings. After a day at the office, kick off your shoes, loosen your attire and if you can’t take a moment to sit and embrace nature, let a painting take you there.  Below are some progress pictures of the creation of Look, Ponder, and Pause. I could write a lot about it or just let the photos do their job.  Support the Arts wherever you are.  RachelJones RachelJones RachelJones RachelJones   RachelJones Find “ Look, Pause and Ponder ” at  Art Harbor Gallery .
