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

Moss and Pharmacy Labels

Blame it on all of the studying J was been doing last week, but all things pharmacy related have been stuck in my head lately. I was looking around the web earlier and saw lovely old pharmacy bottles and started thinking how beautiful they would be full of simple wildflowers and then tucked into a lush green mossy arrangement. Maybe for a wedding? Maybe for his graduation party (haha because that is so masculine)? Who knows. Either way I'm thinking I might just have to try it for myself...
