These two paintings were delivered today to Art Harbor Gallery in historic Georgetown, SC. We weathered a tropical storm, are enjoying post storm cooler weather, and were treated to a majestic Blue Moon last night. All in all… quite thankful. The paintings are watercolor on quite heavy 300 lb paper. The phlox is one of the many night blooming flowers I was studying. To think when we close our eyes, an entire new world awakens! Support the Arts wherever you are. These are currently available. Happy Weekend, Y’all. -rachel 

More thoughts- “Imagine how bright she is…As bright as the sun…Even at night” is the uniting script on the previous post and this one- The Warrior Phlox. Night phlox is used in moon gardens due to its beautiful fragrance and vibrancy in the moonlight. These paintings are the sun and the moon/day and night/the heads and tail of the same coin. Both are currently available through @artharbor.sc 11” X 15” Watercolor on 300lb paper.

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 .
