Happy New Year!
I have some sad news — two of my three galleries needed to close their doors last year. They were so wonderful to work with and am of course so sad to see them go.

I’m in the process of listing many of the paintings for sale on Etsy. If you are local to the Richmond, VA area and would like to see any of the paintings in person before purchasing please contact me so we can make arrangements.

I try to get an hour or so of painting done before my girls wake up. Hasn’t been too successful recently. This one is on to me. (Swipe to see my morning studio buddy.)

I’m working out some ideas for larger paintings. Here is a 6x6 inch study of the Maury River in Rockbridge County, VA. ▫️ I may be stockpiling some pieces like these of various sizes for my upcoming show at @cabellgallery in downtown Lexington, VA. 😊 ▫️ 👉👉 Can you picture this little scene as a larger painting? If so, what size? ▫️ #impressionism #impressionistic #oilpaint #oilpainting #brushstrokes #impasto #artist #expressionistic #monet #textures #ilovelexington #lexingtonva #mauryriver #goshenpass #maurymonument #lexington #vmi #washingtonandlee

How about some juicy paint textures for this post? Swipe to see a few recents. ▫️ Best time to photograph these guys is in the late afternoon. ▫️ I’m not a 3d artist, except when it comes to building the paint on a flat canvas. It’s sculptural. Does that make me a sculptor? 😛 ▫️ #impressionism #impressionistic #oilpaint #oilpainting #brushstrokes #impasto #artist #expressionistic #monet #textures

I'm offering several of my "studies" for sale. These are mostly plein air paintings that I left unfinished, don't live up to the standard I have for gallery work, or were created as a "rough draft" or exploration before beginning a more refined painting. They are still fun little pieces. I often enjoy buying other artists’ studies over their more refined works because of the energy in the brushwork and some artists choose to list them for a discounted price. ▫️ All are sold unframed, $100 each. Link is in my profile if you’d like to take a look. ▫️ #oilpainting #artforsale #wip #pleinair #pleinairpaintings #studies #oilsketch #smallpaintings #gallerywall

This winter afternoon light is perfect for photographing thick brushstrokes on these paintings.
