I am excited to share my recent paintings of the beautiful Virginia countryside, as well as many paintings of the quaint town of Lexington, Virginia. Landscapes both large and small, plenty of summer greens and autumn foliage included in the show! More details to come. I hope you put it on the calendar and can come.

Feel free to spread the news.

Here's a sneak peek. Now back to work for me...

Contrary to appearances

Contrary to appearances I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I got pregnant and quickly learned that growing a baby required an incredible amount of energy. Then we had our baby. Blogging happens to be low on the priority list of running an art business.

She's amazing. Such an incredible gift.

Maybe I'll be back to the blog, maybe I won't. I have plenty of ideas for blog posts, if I happen to have some spare time between baby snuggles, changing diapers and keeping up with the painting.

In the meantime, click on over to my Facebook page to see what's happening.

Oxygen

 

 

To paint a landscape is to engage in something greater than myself. It is a marvelous recognition of how small and powerless I am – when faced with the shifting light, the weather, the movement of the earth, the changing of the seasons. There is something so refreshing to feeling small on a big planet, in a great universe, held together by an even greater God. 

It is oxygen to the soul.

Painting in Ashland, VA

These paintings will be part of a 4-man/woman show at Gallery Flux opening May 7th, 5:30-8.
