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.....

Nights in Rodanthe

Did a large (30x40) painting of the house in Rodanthe where the movie was filmed. It has been moved recently, as the ocean came much too close.

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.
