The Donovan Studio is open......







FINALLY ......... the studio is complete and I am so delighted to 'move' in and to paint on a more regular schedule. It is such an inspiring spot.... just today I was watching the sunset and saw a female deer with 2 young crossing the marsh... what a sight! The blue heron come in every night just after the sun goes down with their familiar cry. The blues are chasing the bait fish and they jump, in schools, out of the water to escape being supper. I hate to see summer end but am anxious to see the seasonal changes from my new studio. There are so many paintings to paint!

Life after selling 'the Donovan Gallery'............


Sketching in Ireland....



Welcome to my online 'studio' where you will find news of the artwork of Kris Donovan, RI painter. Since selling the Donovan Gallery at Tiverton Four Corners, RI after 26 years in the art gallery business, Kris has 'retired' to paint and teach in her waterfront studio in Little Compton, RI. My work will still be available at the Donovan Gallery and other venues to come, but I thought the blog was a great way to keep you posted on my recent work, workshop plans, upcoming classes, and notable area shows and events.
