Art by Chriss Hardy

Recovering from knee replacement has given me time to do a lot of sketching. I’m anxious to paint again but having to wait until I don’t have to elevate my leg constantly.

I love it when a painting gives a special person a smile. I did this from photos I took when I was in Havana. Just so happens that my nephew got to go to the same location.

Bought some sunflowers last week and got inspired. Love purple and yellow!

New paintings focusing on reflective surfaces. Going back to my love of lily ponds is a perfect subject.

Since I have been able to paint full time again my work is evolving.

Exploring ways of painting Rivers. I am trying new mediums and having a great time.

Added a new gallery in Nashville. Local Color on Broadway has some wonderful work,

We had a great class last night - started painting landscapes with an emphasis on water. If you're interested in joining, it's not too late to jump in.

Just a reminder that painting classes begin tomorrow evening here at The Painted Room in the Old City. Please make plans to attend if you're interested.
