Drawing for new painting of Nashville church
Monday July 6th, 2009
In keeping with the piece I am doing for the Savannah Tea Company in Germantown in Nashville, I’m doing a painting of Assumption Church, which is just around the corner from the Savannah Tea Company. This is the drawing for the church. I got to work on the Savannah house Friday, but took off Saturday for the 4th. I will work on it today and post more tomorrow. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Progress on the Savannah Tea Company painting
Friday July 3rd, 2009
I had posted the drawing for this a few days ago. I have now started to apply the color. This is still in the very preliminary stages, so it’s clearly not done. I can see, however, that this is going to work out, so I’ll try and get a lot more done this afternoon at the studio. I am taking the July 4th holiday off, so I won’t be at the studio tomorrow. Have a safe and happy July 4th. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
New Abstract Painting Set
Thursday July 2nd, 2009
Here is a new set of abstract paintings I have been working on. This is for a client, and incorporates some elements of their logo. They will go on a neutral wall space, and should look quite colorful. I won’t know for sure until we hang them and see. That will be next week, so I’ll try to put up a photo of the finished setting, if they work. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
“Lily” - floral acrylic painting
Wednesday July 1st, 2009
Here’s a nice piece I did some time back. “Lily” is an acrylic on canvas. It’s pretty small, a 9×12, but quite nice. There is a good sense of translucency in the flower. This is nicely framed and only $195. If interested, contact me and I’ll take it to the studio (it’s currently somewhere else). jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Final Version of Painting for the Salvation Army
Tuesday June 30th, 2009
I had posted versions of this before. This is the final version to be submitted to the Salvation Army. Not sure how it will be received. I think I want to do something else for them. Just not sure what, yet. Anyway, I do want to support the Salvation Army. It is a great organization and does wonderful work. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
New Drawing for Painting of the Savannah Tea Company
Monday June 29th, 2009
Back to art, now that the Toast of Music City contest is over. I won’t know the results for some time, but will post them when I know (unless, of course, I didn’t place). Anyway, here is the drawing for a piece for the Savannah Tea Company, a restaurant in Germantown in Nashville. They have just moved into this lovely antebellum house, and I’m doing this piece for their upcoming grand opening. Hopefully, it will be worthy of hanging in the dining room. More as the piece develops. jcannon1@bellsouth.net

Salvation Army painting in progress
Wednesday June 24th, 2009
Here is a detail on the piece I posted the drawing for sometime back. This is an intermediate stage. I’ll have the finished version by the end of the month, since this will be part of the Salvation Army publications. This scene is the “Doughnut Girl” helping with food services for the less fortunate. This is a service the SA has been doing for decades. More on the painting as it develops. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
More work on Texas scene painting
Tuesday June 23rd, 2009
I hae posted the drawing for this piece before. I had started it, but it wasn’t right, so this is actually the second version. It’s not done yet; there is more detail to add to the foreground and the figures, so don’t judge too harshly. I do think I’ve gotten the tree, mostly, and the background. I should get to finish this tomorrow, so I’ll post the final version later. Don’t forget to vote on the Toast of Music City award. Friday is the last day, so vote everyday until then. Thanks. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
