Hay Bales

8"x8" Oil on Gessobord
SOLD

This past week some friends and I went to Explore Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway to do some plein air painting.  It was a fun day and for the first part of the day the weather was beautiful.  It is always fun to be outside in the fall weather with a fun group of friends, but always a challenge for me to focus on a small part of the beautiful scenery.  

Teamwork

11"x14" Oil on Panel

This was painted from an old black and white snapshot I found in an old photo album.  It was a challenge,  I had to make all the color choices; but knew it had to be late fall because there were no leaves on the trees and the two were wearing flannel shirts to keep them warm.  And I definitely knew it was OLD, because that is my brother and he is even older than me!

Autumn Patchwork

20"x24" Oil on Canvas

The fall greens are a challenge for me and being a larger painting than I normally do, it was a big challenge.  I have now done this farm in three different seasons, and am calling it enough, now to move onto something else.  

Lynchburg Art Festival 2014

Thanks to everyone who chanced the weather on Sunday and came out to the festival.  It turned out to be a beautiful day and the attendance was great.  I really appreciate all who came and stopped by, a very fun but exhausting day.   Hope to see everyone again next year.

Lynchburg Art Festival Moved to Sunday the 14th

Because of the forecast of rain the Lynchburg Art Festival has been moved to Sunday the 14th.  Looks like a beautiful day on Sunday, come out and enjoy the art and the nice fall weather.

Lynchburg Art Festival

It's that time of year again when I drive myself crazy getting ready for the Lynchburg Art Festival.  If you are in the area or looking for a fun day come out and checkout all the wonderful artwork.  There are artists from all over Virginia and some from neighboring states.  It is held at EC Glass High School in Lynchburg on Saturday the 13th and is open from 10AM to 4PM, rain date is Sunday.  If you come to the show, please stop by and say hello; I'll be showing artwork on the fence at location #54.  I will be posting new some artwork after the show

Let Me Have a Look

Oil on Canvas

Once again my favorite subjects, animals.  These two reside at the Booker T. Washington National Park just a few miles from my house.  There aren't too many animals left there that have not been the subject of one of my paintings.  However, on one of my many trips past the park, I have spotted a new horse.   I guess I need to make another visit; I'm sure that horse feels left out.
