I recently had the pleasure a meeting a "local" artist. I have to qualify local, because Stephanie Scott is from Milledgeville, Georgia, but it's currently not her full time home. I was quite taken with Stephanie's art in the few minutes I got to look through some of it.

She's currently packing up to head to California (which is where she lives the rest of the year)

I purchased this water color from her. Isn't it beautiful?

I also purchased a etching of a view of Lake Sinclair. I can't wait to get it framed and hung at my office. You all know how much I love Lake Sinclair and it's awesome to have met an artist who has captured in an etching that love that I feel in a view from her parent's Lake Sinclair home. I fell in love with it from the moment I saw it.

She also produces cards with prints from her larger water color flower paintings. The are amazing. Each painting also is accompanied by a story of the "flower" and the inspriration. If you'd like to see more of Stephanie's work check out her website @ StephanieScott.org I am thinking that some of her cards will make nice gifts for friends for Christmas this year.

It is gorgeous, I have an artist friend here in Atlanta and I recently purchased a sunflower water color from her and it is the favorite of my collection. Nice to connect with another Georgia Agent.

Mary- it is really lovely. And she and her husband were so very charming. I just love sunflowers, you should post a photo.

Hi Tammy, I'll bet the notecards are really pretty. I love going to local fairs and art shows. It gives special meaning to any pieces you buy when you've had a chance to meet with the artist.

Tammy, love the vibrancy of this water color. I'm not familiar with her work, but will have to look on line and see what other art I can find of hers. Very nice!

Tammy - What a nice picture. How nice to have something from a local (or part time local) and to speak w/ her and really now her story.

Tammy - Beautiful pic, water color is probably one of my favorite mediums, it's just so light and fresh looking.

Mona- I totally agree. In fact, I've told her husband about a local fair I'd love to see them at next year.

Vickie- It's lovely and I'm so happy that I purchased one.

Cal- It's fantastic and I'll use it in a post real soon.

Debbie- Lake Sinclair is her "home" and her mom still lives on our lake... so yeah, she's local... she just lives in California part time.

Michelle- I'd never really looked at it too much. My mom and my mother in law have both done oils. I wish I could paint.

I just love watercolors and this one is beautiful, Tammy. Isn't it great to meet the artist and get their "perspective" on the painting.

Toni- each of her paintings and etchings come with a story and it makes it so personal and so much more beautiful.

Tammy,

She's a lovely artist. I can see why you were attracted to it. I have an oil painting from a local artist of a purple iris. I think it means more when you get to meet the artist.

I hope you get your etching of Lake Sinclair soon and that it brings you many years of joy.

She really... I don't know why I didn't think to snap a photo of her in her studio at her summer home when I met her. I'll have to do that too when I see her again.

Tammy,

Sephanie's watercolor will be a beautiful addition to your office. And your support of a local artist is commendable. Is she coming to Northern or Southern CA?

Chris- I didn't always have such an appreciation of art. Perhaps age and maturity is what changed that, but now I feel it and it speaks to me.

Lloyd- the San Francisco area is where she lives. Definitely check out her web site link above.
