Lazy Summer Day


11"x14" Watercolor on Arches paper

This is one of the few watercolors I have done from an afternoon of plein air painting with some artist friends at the Booker T. National Park.  It is always such a fun place to visit.

Early Evening Sail


16"x20" Oil on Canvas
SOLD

More of the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Smith Mountain Lake.  I have always loved the water and the peacefulness of sailboats; and...I am ready for some warm weather.

The White House in the Blue Ridge


10"x20" Oil on Wood Panel

I never tire of the scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  This barn has the Peaks of Otter in the background which made it really catch my eye.  The Peaks are awesome and the contrast of the white barn with it's afternoon shadows called out to me to paint it.

La Fox at the Bird Feeder


16"x8" Oil on Canvas
SOLD

The more I paint animals, the more fun they get.  This is another of my friends' pets "LaFox" or better know as "Foxie".   I know that fuzzy tummy was not in need of food....he gets fed all too well for that, but I'm sure he's thinking a bird would be a great desert!
