I create all of these ornaments from copper, canvas, shell and glass. I really love them. Plus, I can name drop many of these with a beach or person’s name as I create them myself. All-in-all a pretty cool addition to your tree or special gift to give.

Bald Head Island Art

deborah — Wed, 13 May 2009 20:13:05 +0000

I am so pleased to present the newest print offering in my Bald Head Island series. “Life is easy on the isle of dreams,” is a great little artwork featuring the BHI Harbor, Eb and Flo’s, Old Baldy, and (if you look close) even a bit of the Bald Head Island Chapel.

“life is easy on the isle of dreams”
Watercolor Print - $40

The idea came to me when I was arriving on the island by ferry one day last fall. It was a beautiful afternoon, folks were around, a couple of little sailboats were at play. Perfect, really. I carry a notebook everywhere I go. When I got off the ferry, I sat down and sketched this idea out. I really love this print. “Life is easy on the isle of dreams” brings back many memories of good vacations and coastal cottages and the great Bald Head Island, North Carolina… and that just makes me happy. I hope it will make you happy, too.

Summer Art Camp

deborah — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:41:02 +0000

Artist, Deborah Cavenaugh, Is Offering Nine One-Week Art Camps June 15 through August 14, 2009 (WilmingtonArtCamp.com)

“I want these art camps to not only have the basic goal that each child creates beautiful art, something they can be proud of, but further, to develop their self-confidence and help them find their own, true artistic voice that I believe is inside of every person just waiting to be discovered.” Deborah Cavenaugh

Give your child the opportunity to study with Deborah Cavenaugh in her personal studio. There are six different themes spread over the nine week-long camps–from painting to sculpting. The camps are structured so that those who are already comfortable with art, as well as those who are a bit intimidated, will both have a positive, successful experience.

Nine One-Week Camps Focused On:
Beautiful Art
Self-Discovery
Self-Confidence
Pride of Accomplishment

Bald Head Island NC

deborah — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:24:02 +0000

An absolute favorite place of mine is Bald Head Island, NC. I have had some wonderful family vacations out there, away from everything, floating in the deep blue sea.

“The Marina at Bald Head Island”
Watercolor Print - $40

BHI is a beautiful island just off the coast of North Carolina reachable only by ferry. Upon arriving in the charming marina, you board a trolley for the ride to your rental. There are no automobiles on BHI. All the homes come with a golf cart to tool around the island in.

“Life is always better with a dream”
Watercolor Print - $30

“the gift of an unhurried day”
Watercolor Print - $40

There is much to love about Bald Head. The beaches are never crowded. The roads are never congested. Everything you might need is right on the island. There is a rare maritime forest with walking trails. The fishing is good. The living is great.

“who could foresee this day”

“we are a gift to each other”
Watercolor Print - $40

Just at the edge of the marina, there is a beautiful old light house, Old Baldy. Worth the trip, just to see that. Next door to Old Baldy is the island chapel, popular for weddings and an inspirational place to worship on Sunday.

On BHI, they look after the sea turtles marking and protecting their nests. The island has a Turtle Conservancy that studies the turtles and offers workshops and camps.

Watercolor Print - $40

Nighttime on Bald Head is special, Whether you stay in a hotel or rent a beach house, it is so quiet and peaceful. With no cars to interrupt the sounds of the ocean and breezes, it is grand way to sleep with windows thrown open. And the stars are abundant in way you don’t often experience any more.

Not a lot is out there on Bald Head Island…a little bit of shopping… oceanfront…beach houses…a chapel…a lighthouse…peace and quiet…a slow and steady pace. Not a lot, like I said….but just exactly right.

Nursery Wall Art for Kids

deborah — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:24:59 +0000

The very first thing we do for a new baby is to decorate a room for them celebrating their imminent arrival by picking out the furniture, decorations, baby artwork, themes, and colors.

I have been working on my line of art for kids—both nursery art and children’s art–for a long time already and plan to add to it for years to come. I have lots more ideas to paint.

I really enjoy the process of developing the children’s art. There are so, so many great children’s and nursery themes to explore…transportation (Tractors, Planes, Trains), safari animals (Tigers, Elephants, Giraffes), Mother Goose (Humpty Dumpty and Baa Baa Black Sheep), sports (football, soccer, baseball), sea creatures (Fish, Turtles, Mermaids)…

It is just plain fun to work with all of the themes and designs and color stories.

But, here’s the thing I love best about working on Nursery and Children’s art Better than all of the above, is knowing that my artwork makes it’s way to a boy’s or girl’s wall somewhere and becomes a part of their young lives. Now that is certainly a great privilege.
