Autumn View from Claytor Farm

8"x16" Oil on Canvas

Claytor Farm in Bedford is one of the most beautiful places in our area and my thanks to the guys at Goose Creek Gallery in Bedford for letting the secret out.  They suggested this place as a really nice location to plein air paint a few years back.  We took their suggestion and my jaw dropped when I saw the views from this old home.  It is well worth the trip to check it out.

Dead Beets

9"x12" Oil on Canvas

SOLD

It's been a very busy month for art, with art shows, sales and studio tours it has been hard to find time to paint.  This painting was certainly out of my comfort zone, I don't do still life or anything with leaves; but the challenge is done with the final touches put on at the studio tour yesterday.  Today it's back to the studio for the second day or the studio tour.  If you're looking for something to do, come on out, we are open until 5 PM today.  The studio is located at 7005 Booker T. Washington Highway, Wirtz, VA.

Franklin County Artisan Studio & Harvest Tour

This weekend our gallery will be open for the studio tour.   I will be there both Saturday and Sunday along with several other artists painting.  Hope to see everyone there.

Pigtails

Oil on Canvas

Yes, more pigs; but baby pigs are so darn cute.  I couldn't resist those little curly tails.
