'Garden" and "Floating World"

Getting ready for Spring. I am "pushing" color right now. I have done the algae before but not with such intensity.
I am so looking forward to warm weather and the gallery openings on the Outer Banks.

'Garden

"Hush"

Just returned from Kim's on Hatteras Island. This painting always reminds me of the beautiful sunrise there. It was done many years ago at Wrightsville Beach, but has always been a favorite. I took the reference photo when I used to jog on the beach in the early morning.

Crabtree Falls

Another Virginia painting, a beautiful spot in the Shenandoah Valley.

Sunset on the Blue Ridge

A recent trip to a beautiful location outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, was the inspiration for this painting. I think it may become one of my favorites. The location was Broom Hollow.

Plein air

Recently spent two weeks at Kim's and spent lots of time painting on the deck of her "peapod". Loved every minute of it (except the evening the bugs were really bad...)
This is my favorite, a painting early in the morning right before a gentle rain came. Just made it!
Appropriately it is titled, moments before the rain.

And another favorite...

..part imagination, part Kim's garden put together. I love the color in her yard. Just moved the Sound a little closer.....
