Field Study II

Eileen and I bundled up and went out to paint this afternoon and went to where some Alpaca's are but they didn't stay still for us so we painted the field instead. 8" x 10", oil on board. $125  SOLD

Above Chile's Peach Orchard

This painting was done last weekend when the weather was just so incising and beautiful so I went up above Chile's Peach Orchard and had fun painting this! It is already SOLD! I am actually looking forward to painting outside this winter and sharing what I see then from this spot as well as other places I have scoped out!  12" x 48" oil on canvas.

Chile's Peach Ochard, November

I painted this earlier this week with all this amazing warm weather . . . going out right now to paint, 70 degrees today! I was out yesterday working on a large painting in my neighborhood that is 36" x 48", will show when I am done.  8" x 10" framed, $125.  SOLD

Sugar Grove, Pendleton County

This painting just found a new home in Atlanta, GA . . . thank you Melissa and family, I am so happy it found a great home :-)  it is VERY large, 42" x 46" and had hung at Hot Cakes all last year. I am delighted! SOLD

Above the Parkway

This painting I did with Eileen last week and we went to a friend of mine's home ABOVE the Blue Ridge Parkway! It is amazing being that high up, we had just enough time and light to capture this scene.
12" x 48" with frame, $550. SOLD

Nelson County Farm II

This is a painting I have been working on for a while, a studio painting. I wanted to capture how the land kept going back to the ridge. 28" x 40", framed, $950.  SOLD

Field Study I

Here is a small study I did not long ago in a field near my house. I am working on a few larger paintings right now and hope to show them soon. It is 6" x 8"  SOLD

White Hall Farm, Fall

Eileen and I painted up in White Hall last week where these two abandoned buildings are. The late afternoon was wonderful light but then it got too dark and changed on us. These are small buildings and the shadow on the roofs made them look bright blue.  11" x 17", framed, $300.  SOLD

Chile's Peach Orchard, Fall

 

Just got back from painting this at our beloved Chile's Peach Orchard, right down the road from my house. Everywhere the leaves are so wonderful that I am determined to go out each day until they are all gone! I could paint a dozen right from that one spot, just by turning a bit for a new composition . . . I am at the railroad tracks and turning around I look down the hillside, maybe tomorrow I will show you :-)  16" x 20" $350, framed. SOLD

Miller School Barn, II

I had forgotten to post this smaller painting of the Miller school Barn I did for the Paint Out last month, sorry! I am hoping they will do the show again next year. I have some newer painting that I hope to post soon.  8" x 10"  SOLD.

Blue Ridge View II

This is a smaller version of the 12" x 48" I posted last week. Eileen and I went up to paint on the Blue Ridge Parkway at the same spot but different view, and we weren't sure if it was going to rain or not. So, it did rain a bit, but we found shelter under my van-rear-door and kept painting.  8" x 24" oil on MDF board, framed, $275  SOLD

Harpers Ferry Tunnel

This was painted the next day at Harpers Ferry with Susan. Very simple painting, it looks small but actually a very large tunnel. Fun day to paint! 12" x 12" oil on canvas, framed $150.  SOLD

Harpers Ferry, WV

Here is my newest panoramic that I did last week with my friend Susan Graeber. We stayed at www.theledgehouse.com This is right at the point where the Shenandoah River meets the Potomac River and John Brown was held captive in 1859 at Harpers Ferry, WV. Fun place to visit and paint! Thanks Susan for coming!
12" x 48" oil on canvas, framed, $550  SOLD

Blue Ridge View

I went up twice in the last few weeks to paint this and it was interesting to see the changes in colors. I have painted from here in the past and always catch a different section or time of year. Will post a smaller one I did on a separate trip recently. This is hanging at the show at Westminster Canterbury for the month of November. 12" x 48", oil on canvas, framed, $550.  SOLD

Mirador Farm

This was painted last week with my friend Eileen. We had gone back to this same site a week before and I started a really big one, 36" x 48" but VERTICAL for a commission. We were thrilled to see that the bales where still there, and I wanted to do a panoramic view of this farm. Mirador farm is where the "Gibson Girls" lived way back in the 20's I think. (Sorry that the photo has a shadow on the right hand side.) This is hanging at the show at Westminster Canterbury for the month of November.  12" x 48" $550. SOLD
