What a joy to take my brushes outdoors this spring! I made a step by step video of one of my plein air sessions in March. Take a look: March 2019 Plein Air Demo at Pony Pasture.

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.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve made a post here. Feels almost like starting a new page in a journal. Kinda scared to make that first mark. 😊 . Well, I’m taking the easy route and posting a few pieces that I sent to Cabell Gallery in Lexington, VA this weekend. For a number of reasons I’m feeling especially grateful to work with such amazing people as Susan and Cabell at @cabellgallery. Thank you both for supporting us artists so well.

Thanks for the red dot, @glavekocen! It is an honor to be included in their #hungjuried show this month. The show is up through the end of the month if you want to swing by. #glavekocengallery #oilpainting #jamesriver #tpotbridge

Grammie taught me so much about faithfulness, perseverance, dedication to excellence, serving others, determination, enjoying the small things and much more. She was my quilting buddy for a few years. She shared her stuffed animals, baby dolls, puzzles and tea parties with my girls. I feel so blessed she lived close by and we shared so many wonderful times together these last years. ❤️❤️

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
