Outer Banks Vintage Art: Winter Rest

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Winter Rest

It was very foggy one day this spring and I spent some time wandering around the Banks taking photos. This poor little sailboat has had a rough life and I have photographed it in various states of repose. Part of winter it spent heeled over on its side out of the water. Here at least it is afloat but it is still at rest for the winter, hence the title. I am experimenting with surfaces. This is a prepared panel from Dick Blick. It is about 1/4" thick and I taped the sides so that when the painting was finished I could remove the tape and wouldn't need a frame. It also came with a hanger groove which I forgot about and painted upside down. Oh well. But I will attach a sawtooth when it is dry. This is an oil, 8 x 10, masonite panel, gallery 3/4" frame, $75. At Mellow Dog in Manteo, 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.”
