Never More

7"x5"

Oil on Canvas

I hadn't painted a bird in some time and chose this raven while going thru some photos.  I've always loved how the feathers of a raven glow so many beautiful colors when the light hits them.

Heavenly Ham

10"x8"

Oil on Canvas

It had been a while since I'd had the fun of a pig painting.  This was a fun little porker to paint.

Moo Na Lisa

20"x20"

Oil on Canvas

SOLD

This is the last of my cow series; well for a while anyway.  Black animals are always fun to paint with the light hitting their fur there are always so many different colors reflected.

Morning Has Broken

10"x20"

Oil on Canvas

SOLD

I just love painting barns in winter.  I guess it has something to do with my childhood.  These are typical barns seen in the Northeastern U.S. and the snow just cleans up the landscape and adds a peacefulness to them.

Two Old Goats

12"x12"

Oliver and Hamish were just too quirky not to paint as they are just hanging out in their goat house :-)

Penicks Mill

11"x14"

Oil on Canvas

This is an old mill in Bedford, Virginia.  I love old buildings especially ones made of stone.  This one is in need of some TLC.

Cow 54

Just another fun cow painting.  

Making a New Friend

14"x11" 

Oil on Canvas

This little girl attended the Art on the Green at Lexington, VA this past spring; in fact I was honored to have her grandmother purchase some art from me.  Always ready with my camera to capture the perfect picture I could not resist this sweet little girl with the cute bonnet.  I knew immediately this was a moment that I wanted to put on a canvas.

Ollie - A Commission

20"x16"

Oil on Canvas

I was honored to be asked to paint a portrait of Ollie.  He is such a sweet, lovable dog; what a joy to paint him especially after meeting and getting to know him.  

Dairy Queen

SOLD

20"x20"

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Painting animals are always a joy for me; but this painting was extra fun since it was done with a palette knife.   

Country Living

SOLD

20"x20"

Oil on Canvas

This is pretty much country living, USA.  I grew up in an area of NYS much like this and now the area where I am living in rural Virginia is very much like this.

Art on the Green

Art on the Green in Lexington, VA will be held Saturday, May 4.  It's a great art show and Lexington is a beautiful little historic town.  Plan to visit and stop by the art show.  The forecast is 70 degrees and lots of sunshine.  I'll be in Pad #3, Panel B, please stop by and say hi.

Late Harvest

SOLD

11"x14"

Barns like this always catch my eye; they are so much like the farms in Upstate NY where I grew up.

Abby

7"x5"

I was honored to paint a portrait of Abby as a remembrance for her family.  I really enjoyed painting this gorgeous dog.  I hope the painting brings her family happy memories.

Winter's Song

9"x12"

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

The warm glow of the sun on a cold winter day, after a new snow always captivates me.  It's always so quiet first thing in the morning before the plows and everyone starts to dig out of the snow.
