When I started my art business, I named it “Cabin Art”, or perhaps “Cabinart*”, because my favorite subject matter was architecture, mostly cabins.

As my skill and confidence grew, my favorite subject to draw (and eventually paint) was the Oak Grove Bridge.


During a particularly wet winter after several dry ones, I became enamored with rushing water.

Next, it was orange groves with foothills and mountains in the distance.

After a handful of years of painting multiple variations on this theme, I seem to be transitioning into beach scenes.
More on that later. . . Monday is time for a monthly Learned post.
*For a typo-psycho, I certainly am ambivalent about the spelling of my own studio name.
BUT WAIT! ONE MORE THING FOR YOU! MY FRIEND HANNAH IS OPENING A NEW SHOP IN THREE RIVERS!

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting ’cause I’m that old.
I have IG, don’t have TT. I’ll do a search and see if I can track her down!
I love every one of these art pieces you showed here! It’s fun to see how your subject interests have changed over the years, and beach scenes sounds like a great way to go next.
Thanks, Michelle! When I lived near the beach, I missed the mountains. Now that I live near the mountains, I miss the beach.
Ah, perfect! I would love to browse . . . will/does she have a website?
It is also a good probability that she will rely on Instagram and TikTok (because she is young.)
Expanding one’s horizons (or “branching out” see what I did there?) keeps life interesting!
*Or, CabinArt!
Congratulations, Hannah! I send my best wishes to Stem & Stone for a successful Grand Opening! There must be an interesting story behind the name of the shop. Maybe you could interview her some day and write a paragraph about that. Hey, more expansion! A weekly (or monthly) “Local Business Highlight” feature!
Sharon, Hannah is into jewelry—hence, “Stone”. Her partner is into plants—hence, “Stem.
