New Orleans Landscape by Contemporary Kristye Addison Dudley

My husband and I enjoyed a Music Festival each night during our trip to New Orleans. The nights were loud and full of dancing. The days, however, were filled with relaxing walks through the Garden District. The old trees stretched across quite streets and wrapped us in light shadows in the hot summer heat. We had such an amazing trip, we can't wait to go back.

Be blessed,
Kristye

St Charles Trolley Landscape by Contemporary Kristye Addison Dudley

10" x 8" Watercolor and Ink on Paper Purchase Prints

This is the second sketch from our vacation in New Orleans this summer. We were able to walk out of our hotel and catch the trolley right on St Charles Street. This historic street is one of the main routes of the Mardi Gras Parade and has traces of beads in the tree lined streets all year round. The sights and sounds of the city were mesmerizing. We can't wait to go back.

Be blessed,

 In July my husband and I took a much needed vacation without our toddlers to New Orleans. While there we stayed in the quiet Garden District neighborhood. A great mix of old architecture, history, charm and friendly local vibe. One afternoon I found a cool spot to sketch and this is my first sketch of my great view under a shaded tree.

Be Blessed,

Toy Fire Truck by Contemporary Artist Kristye Addison Dudley

10" x 8" Watercolor on Paper Purchase Prints

I am working on a unique portrait. A portrait of a 2 year old little girl and 5 year old little boy siblings' favorite toys. This is their mother's way to preserve this very sweet time in their lives. As I prepared for this work, it was very easy to find inspiration since my living room is usually sprinkled with the playthings of my 2 year old boy and 4 year old little girl. 

I'll post more on the commission as it progresses.

Be blessed,
Kristye

SOLD - Dragonfly in Flight by Contemporary Fine Artist Kristye Addison Dudley

SOLD - Drgonfly in Flight © Kristye Addison Dudley
8" x 10" Watercolor on Paper | Purchase Prints

During the month of June, I was encouraging my readers to send ideas for paintings. This painting was created as a study for a larger commission. One of my friends saw it and was drawn to it. Her sister just found out her cancer was in remission and this dragonfly will now be a symbol of her second chance. The reader said the following about this painting.

"It will be our "logo" for God making her new again!!! "

It is such an honor to be apart of such a joyous time. I wish her continued blessings and health.Humbled and grateful,
Kristye

I have been working on a June challege. 25 paintings in 25 days for $50 each. I have been so surprised at the response. The first week of paintings were dedicated to father's day and since then I have been working on commissions and new work. This spring time dragonfly in green hues was a study for a larger commission.

Mountains Watercolor Landscape Painting by Contemporary Figurative Fine Artist Kristye Addison Dudley

"Road Trip" © Kristye Addison Dudley
5" x 3" Pen and Watercolor on Paper

Back to posting art daily after a vacation. We traveled from Georgia to Virginia to Ohio and back to Georgia. It was a long ride with a 21 month old and a 4 year old, but it was a beautiful ride. The mountains were breathtaking. There is something so amazing about being so high on a mountain. This is a sketch of the blue ridge mountains in pen and watercolor.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.  Matthew 14:23

Have a blessed week,
Kristye

 Day 26 - Watercolor Dancer

I changed the medium to watercolor for Day 26. This is a very loose technique using brushes. I always find watercolor a challenge, it's very easy to get washed out colors, but this one still has some vibrancy.

Just 4 days left in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! The countdown has begun. It's time to start thinking of my next challenge. Any thoughts on subjects for May?
