The task was to paint a blue or yellow animal using your non-dominate hand, for me that was my left hand as I am naturally right handed. As for the choice of animal, it was simple-“DOGS”. I have always had a great love for the canine. So, the first two paintings in this series, “original dog” and “watermelon dog” were completed more than ten years ago and were done with my left hand. It was probably about two years after that-around 2002 that I began to showcase the series at Artist Alley-blue dogs’ very first venue. Luckily for me they seem to be a hit right from the start and with the success first demonstrated by the “Alley” sales, I have been able to expand to a few more stores in North Carolina as well as, other markets. </p><br /><p>As for the method to my madness (aka inspiration)…my creativity manifests itself in all kinds of ways-from abstract paintings to sculpture to carpentry work and I enjoy it all. I love the process involved in having my ideas materialize into two or three dimensional form. So although my formal degree is in painting and drawing my main objective is creative illustration in whatever forms that may take. As for the blue dog series, well….if you have a dog or know a dog you too know that they can always provide material for new ideas. Some of the images I have painted were things that my dogs (or my dog’s friends) actually were caught in the act performing and some were a little coerced-though rest assured that no harm came to the animals while posing for pictures. I also discovered fairly early on that the blue dog paintings often make people smile and I think that, in itself has great value. These are the main reasons I have painted and hopefully will continue to it keep painting the blue dog series for years to come. </p><br /><p>I am currently working on three more paintings to add to the collection and hopefully they will be completed within the next few months. I have to insert here that I had a hard time at the beginning of this year with motivation as one of my main sources of inspiration, my little 17 year old “red dog” jas, grew too old to be by my side any longer. My heart was broken as she was the most faithful, beautiful, loving companion that one could ever wish for. Now as time passes, it is getting easier to think of her most days without overwhelming sadness and just smile and I believe that when I am painting blue dog, she is still here and a little bit of her spirit continues to go into each image in the form of love….</p></blockquote></div>Jean Skipperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11166547400531514364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110014113639760880.post-47700183425968702282011-03-23T17:14:00.002-04:002011-03-23T17:18:24.711-04:00Take 25!

I describe her pottery as being functional and artistic. Today she explained to me that she's been calling it "Functional Contemporary". In either case, it's textural, creative, and her glazes are unlike any that I've ever seen. Several pieces are already calling my name. I'd promise to show restraint; but I've never been very good at it! Be sure to visit early for the best selection!<br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZff81zXviW6zs7Cg3ajMZVGk3qfJAF000_hFaGNhRrpYxEZuU8YuHxDC7lhAIPSFjW9jXxTH0-yOd0SIp7RWd4iJY9nC6RYnC9AZ4fJTaXSR72Z1kbFDtq6TJADyHNzfI97JKj4_Mdo/s1600/Suzanne+October+2010+VII.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528736221008510402" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZff81zXviW6zs7Cg3ajMZVGk3qfJAF000_hFaGNhRrpYxEZuU8YuHxDC7lhAIPSFjW9jXxTH0-yOd0SIp7RWd4iJY9nC6RYnC9AZ4fJTaXSR72Z1kbFDtq6TJADyHNzfI97JKj4_Mdo/s400/Suzanne+October+2010+VII.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br />All of Suzanne's pieces are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. And my pottery trivia for the day...when baking with your pottery pieces, you should place the filled dish in a cool oven. Then allow it to come to temperature with the oven. Placing pottery into a preheated oven can cause stress, and nobody needs extra stress in their life! :-)Jean Skipperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11166547400531514364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110014113639760880.post-65502667821154068532010-10-08T07:05:00.006-04:002010-10-08T07:34:15.272-04:00<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RYLzxfdRfQH7-X222qYqvDa8xCTS5AWq5N9hKO27E2Gjt6CVaLFO4MSRYvdCaVqjj5kelEizfgBDPG9AgVMFNYvwSOCRAXZwr0KiitheXT-Ic9IANzbW4fZgleWLaqvfy3lbKS6K7I0/s1600/1+pink+ribbon.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525635136458036658" style="WIDTH: 97px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 147px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RYLzxfdRfQH7-X222qYqvDa8xCTS5AWq5N9hKO27E2Gjt6CVaLFO4MSRYvdCaVqjj5kelEizfgBDPG9AgVMFNYvwSOCRAXZwr0KiitheXT-Ic9IANzbW4fZgleWLaqvfy3lbKS6K7I0/s400/1+pink+ribbon.gif" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525635133931378146" style="WIDTH: 154px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 148px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFENGo64Tkf6T-Y0RWV68tERrw-45YVAZuidL5nlzPM7WCpX4k_FqqEdLsvRP5BPjWghOl_YwwqXNoCIfBIU1I6BENEQTl1GjWwCi_DYngh45dMw4c1wmfy9kGUXd96DZFM3xps-thyFY/s400/Vista+Practice+Kindness.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p align="center">Please join us tonight from 5:00 - 9:00 as we join forces for an opening with <a href="http://carolinamixedmediaartistsguild.blogspot.com/">The Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild </a>to raise funds in the fight against breast cancer.</p><div align="center"></div><p align="center">We've added an artsy twist to the <a href="http://www.denimday.com/default.aspx">Lee Denim Days </a>initiative for this event.

If you're in the area, please stop for a visit with her! Carol and her daughter, Cassie, joined us at Artist Alley last month, and they've quickly become part of our family. They were each also award-winners at last month's <a href="http://www.mooreart.org/programs/visual/fine-arts-festival-2010/">Moore County Arts Council Fine Art Show at The Campbell House</a>. Talk about talent running in the family!<br /><br />This is one of Carol's most recent paintings.

Rita makes the most amazing Peyote Stitch jewelry, and her attention to detail produces exquisite results.<br /><br />Peyote is a Native American Art Form, and while Rita herself is not of Native American descent, her efforts pay homage to their traditions. Departing from more traditional designs, Rita has also recently unveiled a line of custom bracelets that include the words and colors of your choice. These are especially appropriate for your team and college allegiances. Whether you support UNC, State, Duke, or another Alma Mater, Rita will create just the piece for you!<br /><br />Rita will be demonstrating her craft at Artist Alley from 12:00 - 4:00 tomorrow, and I promise that it will be worth a visit!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515489401982211266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6hjSrZ9-j-GzIwVoNTO_o9xXqZZWdVUdio-T9g8JQCGmH3apjxKppTu3H24bKrFE2uActH4oQzyaIvjwIia9lTAw70qPyZtXphs7vm0Q0xfA9Zr9UXKraChp6oW7BlM2ABU1WnOgZMI/s400/Blog+Rita+Dixon+Kent.jpg" border="0" />Jean Skipperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11166547400531514364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110014113639760880.post-25279723335406039642010-09-09T13:23:00.003-04:002010-09-09T13:34:50.002-04:00Debie Keen's Handmade Beads for Pandora Style Bracelets<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplTvRcklN-8kj-hJbeyrDluvQS2kMJERFdLvKnQI9pstZrtEbTYWdHGei1X56SD38PiZ99MVyglanzdiVQ9NWDEBMJ28AtripuTVgV_XFHg1Sy7BXT8MDtlrepOeEWSP8xZwYLIhT7Kg/s1600/Blog+Pandora+Beads.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514967908362761090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 301px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplTvRcklN-8kj-hJbeyrDluvQS2kMJERFdLvKnQI9pstZrtEbTYWdHGei1X56SD38PiZ99MVyglanzdiVQ9NWDEBMJ28AtripuTVgV_XFHg1Sy7BXT8MDtlrepOeEWSP8xZwYLIhT7Kg/s400/Blog+Pandora+Beads.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />These lovelies are handmade one-at-a-time by our very own Debbie Keen. Debbie lives in Blowing Rock now, and we miss her here in The Sandhills! Luckily for us, she continues to create new beads, and we receive deliveries from her on at least a monthly basis.<br /><br />While Debbie has an amazing eye for designing finished jewelry, she also makes and sells these beads individually. Each is a unique work of art; they're made to fit Pandora, Troll, and other similar bracelets; and they're available at a most reasonable price of $8 each.
