Victorian Ladies

11"x14" Oil on canvas
SOLD

This painting is from a small village in New York State on Wellesley Island called Fine View. It is a beautiful little village of victorian homes from the 1800's overlooking the St. Lawrence River. It was always a favorite place of mine to visit on our family vacations. It was so much fun doing this painting as it brought back many fond memories.

Summer Roses

SOLD 

7"x5" Oil on Gessobord

 

This little painting was done from a plein air painting trip to Wharton Memorial Gardens in Bedford.  It was a beautiful day and the flowers were all in bloom.  This garden is such a pretty, peaceful place.

Pigs In a Blanket

 9"x12" oil on canvas

SOLD

These baby pigs were at the farm at the Booker T. Washington National Park several years ago.  They have since grown up and are no longer at the park. (Having grown up on a farm myself, I don't want to think about where they might have gone!)  Since I have a love of painting animals, this park has been an endless supply of inspiration for paintings.

Ballerina

11x14 Oil on Canvas

 

This young lady was the entertainment several years ago at one of the homes on the Roanoke Parlor tour.   Since I love painting figures, I couldn't resist painting her.



Aunt Bea's Hats

 

5"x7" oil on board

 

This is a small painting I did of my artist friend getting ready to go to a Kentucky Derby party.  She was kind enough to allow me to take pictures while she tried on hats.  She had several hats that had belonged to her Aunt Bea and her final selection included one of them.

April in Virginia

  

    16"x20" oil on canvas

 SOLD

Spring in Virginia is one of my favorite times of the year.  Everything is so green and the flowers are plentiful.  This is a farm that I passed on the way to one of my workshops and after looking at the photo I had taken, I decided to tackle all that green.  It was a challenge, but with the critique help of my artist friends, I am pleased with the outcome.
