Spring Fever!

Even for Vermont, this winter piled on all the trappings of the long, cold season with record snowfalls. Finally, spring awaits just around the corner, or at least according to the calendar. :)

Ready for spring flowers and sunshine? Warmer weather and dragonflies? Bunnies and butterflies? 

Enjoy a glimmer of spring today with these cute, cheerful ceramic tile magnets

Decisions, decisions!

UPDATE 8/26/10:  Photography prints will begin to be on sale at the Block Gallery in September. However, my art reception month is being rescheduled. Stay tuned for upcoming date!

As often happens with summer in Vermont, the end of August always seems to materialize out of the blue. So here it is, the start of September a mere 2 weeks away, and I find myself in the midst of  major decision making. For the month of September, I will be displaying photography at the Block Gallery & Coffeehouse in Winooski, VT.

A monumental month for me, as it will be my first time having an opening art reception of my art work at a gallery. Selecting which pieces to include is somewhat daunting, but nonetheless a very exciting experience.

“Cloud Ballet” Fine Art Prints Now Available!

Karen Lloyd’s original acrylic painting “Cloud Ballet” captures the picturesque view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains when traveling south on Route 7 towards Charlotte, Vermont. The clouds carry a sense of wonder at what is to come: the fine balance between bright blue summer skies and the potential of thunderous afternoon showers. As is so often true in New England’s Nature, the clouds’ dance is ever changing and captivating.

High quality fine art prints of “Cloud Ballet” measure 11 ½” by 16” and are mounted on archival, acid-free foamboard measuring 16” x 20.” “Cloud Ballet” prints are available for $55 plus shipping (if applicable).
