"Echoes of Yesterday"
11"s14"Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
I just love the old weathered barns sprinkled around the country. These barns were photoed by a fellow New Yorker who just happened to be at the coffee shop across from the ArtVisions Gallery and began a conversation with a fellow artist. I so appreciate it when someone is so generous with their beautiful photos, a big thank you to Eric and Linda.

Wow, life has really got in my way. We have/are moving, that is a lot more work than I had imagined; and it's not over, we are still not moved into our final place yet, just a temporary place. Plus, I ended up breaking my first bone. Luckily that has been a fast healer, but my timing was not the best. Oh well life will be back to whatever normal is fairly soon.
So this lineup of chicks/roosters caught my eye as a fun painting. Back to painting some animals to get back into the swing of painting.
"Happy Hour at O'Kelly's"

This painting was inspired by a visit to Montano's Restaurant. The array behind the bar just called out to me to be painted. Well, that's not quite true 😅 actually my artist friend that was with me told me I needed to paint this😬 This was by far the most challenging piece I have ever attempted. It was a big learning experience though. But for a while I think I'll take a break from still life artwork!
Thank you to all who came out and supported the arts at the 50th annual Lynchburg Art Festival. Even though the show was shortened there was a great turn out.

It's been a while since I've painted cows wading in the water, and as hot as this summer has been it wasn't hard to find some cooling off.
"Oscar McCluck"

I've gotten behind in my posting. I have been working on getting work ready for upcoming shows. This big boy was a fun guy to paint.

I just love the old weathered barns that are scattered around the countryside. If their walls could talk.
It has been a while since I have painted a donkey and this sweet one came to me at just the right time.

This is certainly spring in Virginia and I'm sure many other locations as well. The nesting birds are surely active now.

This is the third painting in my swan series. They have become such a joy to paint. I'm sure there will be more later, but that's it for right now:)

This is the second in my swan series, and the second painting of this same family of swans. They are really a joy to paint. It amazes me in the number of babies the mother swan can carry.
"The Hitch Hiker"
14"x11" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
I have always loved and been fascinated by swans and their babies. They can carry so many of those little fluffies under those large wings.
"Wise Ass"

It's another crazy Donkey. They just have so much personality and are fun to paint. I'm sure there will be more for me to paint; can't resist!

Boy, did life get in my way!! but I think it is beginning to be a little more "normal" whatever that is. Anyway this is a painting of my friend's little beagle Jessie. She is just such a sweet little dog.

My husband's passion is golf and my passion is painting; so I decided to combine the two for a painting. It was a fun challenge.
This was a really fun rooster to paint, I love really up close pictures of animals, and this one sure fit the bill!
These three paintings are on their way to the Bath County Art Show. It is a wonderful show at the Valley Elementary School in Hot Springs, VA. July 16-24, 2022.

I love the vistas of the country side and really enjoyed painting this one of the Virginia back roads.
