Humpback Mountain from Chiswell Winery
Painted this recently from Chiswell Winery in Greenwood, just down the road from me. Humpback Mountain is one of our favorite hikes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, about six miles south of Afton, where the parkway starts. Chiswell Winery is new and is owned by Chile's Peach Orchard. They put in the vines last summer but already had vines and wine near Charlottesville. The bales are left from the fall and I like them in the composition. 16" x 40" oil on canvas, framed $695. SOLD Thanks, Donna Jean!

White Hall Bales

The Blue Ridge Parkway is north of Floyd and this is from the overlook near there.

Summer at Grace Estates
I AM BACK!
I haven't posted in a long time, long story short, had trouble with the site and my lack of understanding of the problem. Covid too was difficult for us. But I was painting all along, with friends who drove separately, set up easels in hearing distance, and that got us all through the hard times!
I will be posting mostly paintings that are available, but a few that have already sold. Thanks for being there with your support and friendships!
Painted at Grace Estates this summer, love the evening light! 30" x 40" oil on canvas, framed $1,250.
