Virginia paintings

More of Kim's garden and a trip through Virginia

Just love Kim's garden. This is one of her "container gardens". The title is "Petunias and gaura".
On a trip to a college reunion, I went through Virginia and the other two paintings were a result. It was a beautiful time to travel through that lovely state.

A delicate balance

I have a special love for waterlilies and paint them often. Here is the latest painting, currently at Gallery 5800 in Richmond. It is 16x20, oil on linen.

Beyond the cotton fields

Saw this beautiful scene one morning when I was out looking for something else. Sometimes the best things happen that way. It was down the road from me, near Ware Creek. First I did a small study and then a 24x30.

Winter on the Outer Banks

Went to Pea Island right before Christmas, stopping at Coquina Beach on the way there and at the Wildlife Refuge early on the morning I left. It was beautiful, and the egrets were everywhere, the colors clear and crisp. Here are two of the paintings that resulted from my stay.

marsh in morning fog

Between travels, I came home to find some lovely fog rising over Eastman Creek. This is one of the paintings that resulted.

The Richmond show was very successful, and it was so great to reunite with all the painters. A great crowd and several sales. It will be up for a month at Gallery 5800, Libby and Grove, in Richmond.

Have a new gallery in Lynchburg, Artifacts. Great people and a lovely selection of work.

painting for the Richmond show

More finished paintings of Italy...brings back wonderful memories. One of my favorite places was Fonterutoli, and two of these paintings are from there. Will include some other finished works in the next post.
