Keli's Marbles

Just wanted to give credit where credit is due!  I usually take all my own reference photos, but Keli Tolley had taken a photo of a Ball jar with marbles in it at the show at The Wells Gallery in Charleston, SC and I loved it!  She was kind enough to grant me permission to use it as reference for this painting!  Thanks Keli!!

Peony's new home!

Last Friday was the opening of the show at Brandt-Roberts Gallery in Columbus featuring myself and Scott Goss.  It was a lovely turn out and I really enjoyed meeting some of the people who have purchased my paintings!  Dan was kind enough to send a photo of my Peony painting hanging in it's new home! I love it!!

Here is a link to the works from the show!  http://brandtrobertsgalleries.com/exhibitions/reinterpreting-the-familiar-sally-tharp-scott-goss

It's official! I'm addicted to painting!

What a crazy, busy, blessed few months it's been!  It feels like I have painted day and night for months.  I delivered the paintings to the Brandt-Roberts Gallery in Columbus yesterday and that was the last of my shows for now!  On Wednesday my husband and I headed to NYC to move our oldest into her first real apartment, then back late Thursday evening and to the opening Friday night!  So the plan was to take today and tomorrow off and get caught up on some things that I have let go for the last few months.  But all I wanted do was hang around the studio.. so I cleaned and straightened.. and then started another painting.  I am an addict.. but painting makes me happy and I am excited to keep painting and learning!
I will post paintings from the show later this week!
