My New Chapter - turning the page

Do any of you ever remember thinking "I'm about to enter a brand new chapter in my life"?  That's me right now.

In 2 weeks, I'll no longer be an owner (and artist) of Lowcountry Artists Gallery.  I'll now be able to focus on painting (and teaching), as I'm going to be represented by the Mary Martin Gallery of Fine Art here in Charleston, SC! 

Mary is a powerhouse of a gallery owner and someone I'm proud to be associated with!  Stop in to see us when you're in town!

I've been working hard to prepare a new body of work for Mary.  Here's a work-in-progress peek at the one currently on my easel.  BTW, no title yet, so feel free to leave me Comments about what you think the title should be!  

p.s.  A big thank you to everyone at Lowcountry Artists Gallery for my time with them!  Friends forever!

So...what should I name it!?  All suggestions will be entered into a drawing!
At the end of October, I'll draw a name from all the submissions and give that person a fine art giclee of my "Charleston Curls" painting (below).
Do it today...what have you got to lose?  Leave a comment here or post one on my Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/BeachamFineArt

My Newest Painting! Enjoy!

"Lowcountry Splendor" (acrylic) by Helen K. Beacham

When I wander through the plantations and gardens of our beautiful Lowcountry, I am often drawn to the scenes that are off the beaten path.  This particular scene is magical and can be found at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens on Hwy 61 between Charleston and Summerville, SC.  Driving down Hwy 61 is a breathtaking experience, in and of itself.  It builds up the suspense as you approach Magnolia!

Classes for Everyone!

Take a peek...then take your pick!  Of classes, that is.

The Dreaded Bio

Just one more chore that artists hate to face:  the dreaded bio!  We hate to brag on ourselves!!!  How do you all deal with it?

The City Gallery requested updated bios for our upcoming group show through the South Carolina Watermedia Society.  I just spent an hour updating mine.  Done!
