Follow up to Funny Story

It’s been a crazy week.  I’ve been trying to work on some new paintings for the Hamlet Art Gallery, but with the holidays it’s been tough.  That painting I mentioned in my last blog is going to be a masterpiece.  I got a new puppy for Christmas and she decided to drag her tail through it while I had it on the floor looking at possible frames for it.  I may have to have a very creative name for it.  How crazy is that.  My Mom, Stephanie Hamlet and my sister, Kellie Jacobs, haven’t had a lot of time to get together to paint like we normally do, because of the hectic holidays.  We have managed to get a few new pieces out, so visit us if you can at the Hamlet Fine Art Gallery on 7 Broad Street in Charleston, SC.  Hope to see you soon!  Melinda Lewin

Being an artist and having my own studio at my home in Charleston, SC funny things tend to happen to me.  I have two small children 3 and 4 years old.  I was creating one of my new masterpieces and almost had it ready to take to my Mom at the Hamlet Fine Art Gallery on Broad St. in Charleston, SC when I discovered my two young children had decided to add their input to the creation.  They had taken the bungee cords off my studio french doors, which is how I normally kept them out.  They took my fine paint brushes and go into the dirty paint thinner mixture and painted everything in site.  This included two of my art works in progress, the french doors, windows and floors.  You gotta love it! And here’s another painting they got a hand in.  Fortunately, with oils you can paint over them.
