New + re-released prints and original work goes LIVE today!

New work is available in the shop today!!  Woo hoo!  

I worked on a new series of sunsets based on my observations and inspiration from a family trip to the Hamptons in June.  The colors and reflections on the water combined with the clouds and beautiful summer skies really got me so inspired so I have set out to capture this trip.  I was so amazed by the way the light changed each day and how cloudy days, sunny days and everything in-between were so distinct and different!   

So, without further ado, check out the new Summer Sunset Series (say that 10 times fast!!) today over in the shop.  And thank you, as always, for your support of Art by Megan.   

Behind the scenes: a lifestyle shoot + a day at the beach

As many of you know, a vast majority of the inspiration for my artwork comes from the beach. The light, the layers of textures and colors, and the overall mood of the beach has always inspired me.  I just cannot get enough of it.  

Last month, my friend Laura, of Laura Lee Photography, and I headed out to do a lifestyle photo shoot at the beach in Coney Island, Brooklyn.  It was windy and a little chilly, but the sun was shining and we were ready to talk art, following dreams, business strategy and even do a little painting on the beach.  Her photos are AMAZING and I wanted to share a couple with you today. Be sure to check her out on social media too, at @lauraleecreative.  

Laura and I met at Creative at Heart Conference Round 2 in Charleston, South Carolina in November of 2015.  We hit it off right away because we are both seriously passionate about what we do, totally wacky + silly, and very adventurous ladies with major wanderlust + travel goals. Laura has recently started a new venture, in addition to her photography business, to document and profile creatives who are following their dreams as makers and artists.  

Enjoy the beautiful photos and happy Tuesday!

Also, during our shoot, a little over-excited puppy came over to me with boundless energy and Laura captured what might be the best / funniest photo blooper ever!  hehe.
