New Collector of the Month: Oprah Winfrey

At the top of exciting news....Oprah bought three of my cow paintings

for her Maui Ranch in Hawaii. Wheee!

"The Golden Girls", 30" x 40" Oil, Collection of Oprah Winfrey, c 2013 Carolyn Blaylock

Here's the story....

Visiting WInston-Salem for Maya Angelou's birthday, Oprah took a

shopping trip to Reynolda Village and walked into Village Smith

Gallery. Her face lit up when she came eye to eyes with "The

Golden Girls". She then turned the corner and giggled when she saw

"Annabelle" and "Coral Bell".......and well......the cow gals just made

the weight limit to board the jet to Maui. Thank you, Oprah!

New Work Bright Off The Easel

The paint is still wet on this first work in my new series, "Fantasy Landscapes".

New Gallery Representation

The Art Cellar in Banner Elk, NC

It's an honor to be represented by this fine gallery in North Carolina. Seven new bears and cows lumbered up the mountain and are now hanging amid lovely company in The Art Cellar's big beautiful space. On your journey to the mountains this summer, please stop by and introduce yourself. "Finnigan" and friends will greet you!

The Fat Cat , Oak Ridge, NC

So happy to be featured in the Art Focus section of the May issue of American Art Collector!

Inside the New Studio

In case you haven't heard, we moved downtown. Located in the historic area of Winston-Salem, the studio occupies the upstairs above Ollie's Bakery on the corner of 300 South Marshall Street and Brookstown Avenue.

The studio is humming with five artists working in various medium. Come sit in a comfy chair, sip a cup of coffee and watch us paint. Call before you come and I'll perk some coffee and fluff the pillows. 336-909-1378.
