Sheep Incognito 2009

Through her travels in Europe and the United States, Conni has collected visual and abstract impressions of each country's flair and culture. Her paintings not only reflect memories of faraway places, but also provide the viewer with an excursion into her vivid, fairy tale-like imagination.

One of her main subjects are sheep . Her sheep are not just regular sheep - her sheep are bouncing, falling from the sky, flying airplanes, being turned into Baaah-B-Q sauce, or skipping through one of her vibrant, extraordinary landscapes. It has been rumored that one of her sheep paintings will be seen in an upcoming episode of the CBS hit show CSI. Her imagination has delighted art collectors around the globe.
Her landscapes are known for their vivid colors and striking composition, and occasionally there will also be a stray sheep or two meandering around the hills in her paintings. Conni draws her inspiration from her little flock of sheep grazing the pasture on her farm near Lake Hartwell, where beautiful sunsets are the rule, and life still progresses at a manageable pace.

Conni's drawings, oil and watercolor paintings have been published in several magazines and are found in art collections around the world. Some of her work is included in the collection of famous music producer Quincy Jones, as well as that of a President of the United States. She is listed in MARQUIS' Who's Who of American Women, Artprice, as well as the American artist reference website AskART.com.

A Work of Art: Raising Our Exceptional Son
Ben and Bennie Waddell are two exceptional artists - both for their personality, but also for the challenges they both face - one as a child with PKS, the other as a full-time artist and father of a child with PKS.
The two of them add up to an unbeatable team of high spirits, big smiles and exhuberance that shines through in every painting they create together.
The colors are vibrant, the brush and hand strokes vivacious, and the subject matter fun, bright, happy and definitely sunny - just like the artists themselves.
If you get a chance, check out their blog - it will give you just a glimpse of these exceptional people and the challenges they are beating the dickens out of...

My favorite books and workshop/tutorial cd's 

Here's where I gather information, inspiration, and techniques

Ever wondered how an artist learns what they do? Many attend workshops by famous artists, others go back to college to study, and others learn by trial and error.
For my art, I generally tend to study on my own, through books and tutorials - it keeps my costs to a minimum, allows me to work at my own pace, and leaves me a lot more room for personal interpretation of what I am seeing.
Here are a few of my favorite sources of inspiration and techniques:
