I'm Back! More Shows and More Paintings

Could you tell I disappeared for a while.  I had the opportunity to visit my daughter who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.  We had a great time and I can't wait to go back!  This is the view from her back yard.  I will definitely stay long enough next time to do some painting.  Virginia is a beautiful place!

The Last Inning

The Cain Center of the Arts Director's Choice show was definitely this year's highlight.  These two paintings sold and are off to live in their new homes.  I am honored someone has chose one of my paintings for their home.  Now off to more bigger and better things.

I have entered the Union County Center of the Arts Spring Exhibition in Monroe, North Carolina.  Two of my favorite paintings were entered.  More on that show to come!

I am currently working on my painting for the Mint Museum show in April.  I don't do many landscapes---especially large ones 24" x 30"!  I will post pictures as soon as the painting is presentable.

Now off to paint!  Enjoy this beautiful spring day!

Day Eighteen of the  30 Paintings in 30 Days in September with Leslie Saeta.  

But not for me, this is painting Eleven for me.  Last week was an extremely difficult week, there was no painting, no inspiration.  I used that time to reflect on how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family.  Now it's time to get back to work!

I love the new painting!  I will be painting a larger version to keep for myself.  

The Nest has sold.  

To view more paintings currently available for purchase, please visit my Etsy.com store.
