Outer Banks Vintage Art: Windswept

Windswept

If you walk the path by the Pea Island visitor's center you will come to an observation platform and another path to the right that goes around the ponds. I love to walk along this path in the fall and winter and see the ducks, swans and geese. There is this solitary tree hanging over the edge of the marsh, very windswept. I have been photographing it for years. It is sort of representative of all the windswept live oaks around the OB. I took several of my photos and merged them into this one painting. Soft pastel on Wallis sanded paper, 5 x 7 matted and framed to 8 x 10. $125 At Seagreen Gallery in Nags Head, NC.

About the Artist

A native of northern Ohio, Judith Bailey came to art at an early age. She was mentored by her mother, a hobby artist and her father whose hobby was photography. She spent many a day in her mother's studio, drawing and painting, or with her father outdoors, looking for wildflowers to photograph. After attending college, she began her working life as a graphic artist and has worked in that field for nearly 30 years. In the 1980's she moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where she still resides. She has a deep love of nature and has made it her life's work to portray its beauty in a variety of mediums: watercolor, pen and ink, soft pastels, acrylics and oils. She has been painting professionally since 2005 and her philosophy of art comes from her mother who once told her to “follow the light, day after day.”
