Mirador Farm III

A commission for Frank for his birthday, Happy Birthday Frank! I LOVE painting this scene from the road of route 692 . . . but next time I will try another spot.

Evening Bales

Here is a painting I repainted the other day and I like it much better now that it has more of an evening feel to it. This is from one of our local farmers in Crozet. I often have to run out to paint the bales because they often move them the next day. 24" x 30" oil on canvas framed, $600.  SOLD

Henley's Barn

Henley's barn on route 811 is right north of Crozet and Henley's have a wonderful apple orchard that this barn is across from. I believe they have horses at this barn even though I didn't see them there.

Molly's View

This is a commission for Molly and her family near Batesville, VA, not far from our home.

I need to tweak this a bit but close to being done. 30" x 40" oil on canvas. Thanks Molly!

Red Barn, Lexington

Eileen and I painted at Possum Hollow in Lexington on Saturday morning with the wind blowing steadily.

Nelson Gallery Paint-Out

Eileen and I went to Lexington this weekend to do a two day Paint-Out at the Nelson Gallery with about 25 local painters. We had great fun and got to know several of the nice folks running the gallery and the painters . . . .  Above is one of Eileen's paintings of the Maury River and mine of Stonewall Jackson's Garden, with photo of the garden next to his house.

Blue Ridge Parkway III

I went up twice to paint at one of my favorite spots on the parkway and Polly came up with me the second time when I needed to go back. This is not at an official overlook but between two. I LOVE to paint from this spot in every season and have done all but the winter, perhaps this year I will bundle up and try. (A hold on this for Ryan till after the weekend.) 24" x 48" oil on canvas, framed SOLD!  thanks Ryan and Bethany!
