Save the Date! The opening reception for my solo show is Friday, September 6th, 2019, 5-7:30 pm.

I’ve been working for over a year on these 20-some new paintings. Most feature the Virginia countryside, scenes from Rockbridge County and a few Lexington city-scapes. Can’t wait to share these with you!

And if you can’t make the opening, the show lasts the entire month of September. Would love it if you stopped by for a look.

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.

This is my last view, each time I head to 64 and home after the day in Lexington. Got a photo from the car this time because that falling shadow was just too good. Until next time, I say in my head, or something like that. Unless a baby is crying in the backseat, which is often the case. ;) . Evening Falls at VMI, 6x6, oil. Main St & Letcher, across from Foster Stadium.

Washington and Main, 8x10 oil, Lexington,VA. Coming to Cabell Gallery @cabellgallery this September. . I think many if not most the artists at @cabellgallery have tried their hand at this street corner. If you’ve been to Lex you know why. This is my 3rd, maybe even 4th or 5th attempt. Love all the brick and crosswalk lines, topped off with wispy clouds in a blue sky. 👌 . #artforsale #artistsofinstagram #naptimehustle #oilpainting #pleinair #landscapepaintings #lexingtonva #vmi #visitlexingtonva #virginiathebeautiful #lexington # fallcolors #smalltown #virginiaisbeautiful #visitvirginia #va #pumpkinseeds

View Up Main Street, 8x8 oil, Lexington,VA. Coming to Cabell Gallery @cabellgallery this September. . I’m excited to include a few of these little street scenes of the quaint and beautiful Lex, VA. Let’s go against traffic for a min.That steeple is Lexington Pres and across the street is the Wells Fargo, if you’re familiar with the town. . #artforsale #artistsofinstagram #naptimehustle #oilpainting #pleinair #landscapepaintings #lexingtonva #vmi #visitlexingtonva #virginiathebeautiful #lexington # fallcolors #smalltown #virginiaisbeautiful #visitvirginia #va

I’ll paint my pajamas if I want to. 💃 #pleinair #plainairpainting #inthewoodssomewhere

Incredible — the constancy of the sunrise and sunset. Will the sun rise again tomorrow? We plan our lives out weeks, months, years in advance. The sun has not failed to rise and make another day. What a beautiful thought. There is always tomorrow. Reflective of the Maker of the sun, the days, weeks, months and years. He holds all in His great and mighty hands, and He does not fail or falter. And when He says “Do not be anxious about your life” why not listen and heed? His beautiful reminder is in the sky day after day. Matthew 6;25-34 says it just right. . Lexington Sunset, 6x6, oil.

I almost scrapped this one entirely. When I’m fed up I often turn the painting around on the self to hide it from view — just for a couple days, sometimes a few weeks, maybe then turn into months. This one came “back to life” after I ruined one of my favorite brushes. Started slapping paint around and then narrowed in on that log sticking out of the water with a fine sable brush to get the smooth wood. Seemed to do the trick, maybe? . Cove, 6x9”, oil . Available at @cabellgallery this September as a part of my solo show in Lexington, VA. . #artforsale #artistsofinstagram #naptimehustle #oilpainting #pleinair #landscapepaintings #lexingtonva #vmi #visitlexingtonva #visitvirginia #virginiathebeautiful
