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”.)

Safe travels, Topaz! This beauty is on the way to its new home in the Mile High City.

Fun fact- we used to live in Denver and still try to get out to Colorado at least once a year to visit friends and take in the mountains. While it’s no longe

Whipping up some pretty gorgeous views in the studio today

“I’d Love To Be Mysterious, But I Talk Too Much” The only mystery here is why you thought I wouldn’t offer my opinion. (And let’s be honest- if I didn’t say it with words, my eyes would no doubt give me away.)

I stumbled across these beauties a few days back over on Unruly Things and have been thinking of them ever since. Aren't they gorgeous? Unique, sparkling circles of nature's jewels.

Maybe it's the artist in me, but I absolutely love photography! Personally, I think photography is the most important "extra" of a wedding.* There is just something so beautiful and special about capturing the love between two people! And who says you can only do this if you're engaged or getting married? I think everyone deserves a photo shoot.

Here are a few photos that I'm currently swooning over.

*I say photography is an extra because really all you need for a wedding is the bride and groom and the promise to love each other. Well that and an officiant, witnesses and a license if you'd like to be legal :)
