Courtney Khail | Southern Watercolor Artist (photo by Elle Golden)

Hi, I'm Courtney.

I'm a Southern contemporary artist currently living in Athens, Georgia with my husband and our rescue mutt. Here you'll find a peek into what inspires me, new pieces I'm working on, and a whole lot of random thoughts. (Oh! And for those curious, my last name is pronounced “kale”.)

I was going to say “teaching an old dog new tricks” but 1) I’m not old (I can’t even say middle aged because I hope I at LEAST make it to my eighties and I’m not even 40 yet) and 2) This isn’t exactly a new trick.

Note to self: remember to wear gloves. (Just call me Violet Beauregarde, I guess.)

This moment right here- where I get to see someone experiencing my work in real time- is one of my most favorite things. The studio gets quiet and if you listen closely you almost always hear the deep inhale that comes at the start of really LOOKING

It’s funny how when I get really busy/really into work and life, social media kind of gets put on the back burner (which ironically makes it seem like “nothing” is going on.) Anyhow, I’m still here- working on projects, hostin

Happy 4th of July!

July 04, 2013 in Celebrations

Happy 4th of July everyone!! We decided to take a mini vacation last week (hence the silence) and then came back home to a crazy 4 day weekend of Widespread Panic (I do live in Colorado so my being a pseudo-hippie shouldn't be surprisingly to any of you) so it feels like I'm just coming up for air. I'll share photos of our trip next week, but until then I hope you have a wonderful (and safe) 4th! Interesting side note, did you know we actually declared our independence on the 2nd of July? The 4th was just when it was printed! Fun facts you learn from watching the history channel.
