Fall Fireworks!

                       "Bright Autumn" won an award of merit at the Barns of Bedford show!

I love this time of year. The cool sunny days are perfect for plein air painting- unless you have a cold! Since I can't be out there I've spent some time updating my website with several new paintings. The painting above was begun as a demo on the deck at the Little Gallery. I'm always amazed when a demo turns out well because I find it difficult to concentrate on painting and talking at the same time!

"A Golden Day"

This 11x14" painting of a pathway around the lake at Fairystone State Park was a lot of fun and seemed to almost paint itself. This is a great time of year to visit the state parks here in Virginia.

"Fall Fireworks"

Our local greenway is a wonderful place to walk, visit with friends and paint! This piece is a little more loose and wild than usual for me- and I enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you do, too :)
