I’m back from a week on beautiful Block Island, where every sunset was the highlight of the day! I took this photo of a couple who had the best seats on the island.
If I had a list of favorite sounds, waves washing over beach stones would be at the top.
Speaking of beach stones, the car was loaded with new treasures for the trip back to Pennsylvania. My paintings and silverpoints of these are in the works and will be coming here soon!
Silverpoint Drawing
5.5×7.5″ lavender-gray prepared paper
Timeless and endless. There is no end in sight to the beach stone compositions! That’s me behind the scenes, reflected in the shiny black ball.
This silverpoint drawing is on lavender-gray prepared paper. Those of you visiting The Art Fly blog may have noticed the various tints I use in preparing the silverpoint paper/panels. They provide a contrast to the white highlights that I like to add. I’m presently enjoying the pale purple tint for the beach stones. Other tints that you’ll see popping up here are blue-gray, green-gray, pale coral, and pale ocher. I’m constantly experimenting with colors, formulas, and types of paper.
Please email me if you are interested in this silverpoint.

Oil Painting

I often use a golf tee as a “stage” to showcase small objects such as this shiny black sphere – that is reflecting me at my easel.

I happened to be there as this feather sailed down – and so became my subject for the day!

Silverpoint Drawing
5.25×17″ gray-blue prepared panel
This is an accompaniment to a painted piece by the same name Harmony, which I created a few years back. I love the very different shapes and textures of these elements.

This is one of the very first posts in my blog: The Art Fly Daily Paintings and Silverpoint Drawings by Norine Kevolic. I’m new at blogging and learning as I go so it would be great to have friends along on the journey.
In my compositions, I love using Natural elements along with something human-made – like the glass sphere in this painting. The natural elements may be the beach stones that I’ve collected from the shores of Scotland and New England, seedpods, shells, thorns, bamboo, feathers, bones… The human-made objects may be clear glass spheres, optical lenses, or beautiful old tools and rusted metals. It all started with a few stones that I collected from the beach at Findhorn, Scotland about a dozen years ago!
SOLD. Please email me if you are interested in something similar to this painting.
