Those who stopped by At the Top Art Gallery in Greenville on Saturday got to see an artist at work.Carrie Sharp, who currently lives in Rockwall, was painting a floral scene on canvas complete with a little bee flying around the blossoms.'I've just always loved painting florals,' Sharp said.While Sharp was demonstrating painting on canvas Saturday, she has made art with a variety of media over the years, including sculpture, shadow boxes and mixed media; but she got her start painting rocks. 'I've been doing art since I was about 7 years old with painting rocks, before I had even heard about the rock painting movement,' Sharp said.
