Hello Friends!

Its a great new year and hopefully we will see you at some of the shows we will be doing this year.
Here is the next one for Terri.

Happy New Year!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the gallery during the holidays. We had fun putting the show together, meeting shoppers and other artists, and, of course, making pictures for you. We took it all down and packed it up on New Year's Day, but if you're interested in any of our art (or a commissioned piece), you can contact us here. We'll be looking for more opportunities to share our art electronically and in person in the future. Meanwhile, may you be blessed with joy, health, peace, love, and great art in 2010! 

After Christmas Sale!

The Top of the Hill Holiday Art Gallery will close at 5 pm on December 31.  Until then, everything from My Sister's Art & Photography will be 40% off.  As you shop for bargains, remember to stop by and check out some great deals on original artworks, packs of notecards (make great hostess gifts), and unframed prints.

Thanks to Vivo! for giving us this great opportunity to share our art with folks in the Annapolis area.

Happy New Year!

Path through the Birches: New Painting at the Gallery

It's been great fun to see so many people visiting the Top of the Hill Holiday Art Gallery in Annapolis.  Here's a new painting I just added to the collection for sale there.  I was inspired by an example Karen Cooke provided on her Brush Strokes blog.  I added the path through the woods in my painting because I just want to go for a walk through this bright grove of birch trees and see what's around the curve.

Other Gifty Stuff, Too!

Lest you think all we have is framed art at the gallery, we also have greeting cards, note cards (sold individually or in packs), gift tags, and notepads featuring some of our favorite pictures, like this one, "Birthday Bouquet" by Julie. Plus, we have several of Terri's photos matted without frames so you can customize them to fit your decor. Hope to see you at Midnight Madness!

Midnight Madness!

We're pleased to offer 15% off all framed pictures during this Thursday's Midnight Madness event in Annapolis. Stores will be open until midnight, and we'll have refreshments at the gallery along with refreshing discounts! Come join the fun on December 3. Support local businesses and, especially, local artists. ;-)

When is it finished?

One of the hardest aspects of painting, for me, is knowing when the picture is finished.  Will one more touch enhance the image, detract from it, or worse, ruin it altogether?  Where's the line between unfinished and overworked?  Masterpiece and mess?  And how do you tell before you've crossed it so you know when to stop?

There's a scene from The Agony and the Ecstasy, about painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where Pope Julius asks Michelangelo (Charlton Heston), "When will you make an end?"  "When I am finished," the artist replies. 

But how will you know when it is finished?  That's what I want to know.
