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

“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.)

Summer Berries

This board was inspired by a photo I saw over on Santa Barbara Wedding Chic. I saw it this morning and just couldn't stop thinking of it. I loved the playfulness of the ice cream cones, and esp. loved the color! Sticking with a color palette of various berry tones, this is what evolved. I would love to attend a wedding like this. In my head there is a lot of laughter, twinkle lights, and yummy homemade treats. Hope you enjoy!
