Crozet Pond's Edge

Here is a painting Eileen and I did two weeks ago, hiking through an apple orchard to get this view. I eliminated the black fences to make it a cleaner painting. That is called painter's privilege! This is Jarman's Gap and I live just below the gap, the Appalachian Trail goes right through there too. 12" x 24" oil on canvas, framed, $265. SOLD

Will be taking this up to Wintergreen Resort this weekend for a craft show, usually my best show for the year. They have fireworks on Sunday evening that are fabulous and families bring picnics and blankets to watch . . . always MUCH cooler up on the mountain . . . come on up if you are in the area!

Second Cluster of Buildings

This was painted at the same location as yesterdays post. It is on Gensing Mountain Lane (love that name), and all three of us painted there. A simple layout and composition. 6" x 12" oil on canvas, framed, $125. SOLD

Farm Cluster

This is my favorite painting from our Highland trip, painted on the first afternoon. We had painted there the year before and decided to go back. I think I'm going to hold onto this one for a while, it was just a fun painting to do and not ready to let it go! 9" x 12"  SOLD

Back Road

This is a small one I did at the end of our stay in Highland County but it really could be anywhere. 7" x 8" oil on MDF board, framed, $95. SOLD

Here are the three of us at the end of our two days of painting, (I am on the left, then Barbara and Eileen). We stayed at my friend Patti's - Eagle Anne's Cottage, http://www.eagleanniescottage.com/. We are ready to go out to eat & meet the other painters and see what they have been painting.

White Hall Bale's

Eileen and I painted up in White Hall because the BALES where out! And I have done several other paintings with bales with the first cutting almost complete. This needs a bit of tweaking but will be ready to go to market soon. 12" x 48" oil on canvas, framed, $600  SOLD

Two Barns II

Eileen and I went out yesterday and painted for several hours . . . I did a large one that I will finish & post. But after, I did this small one with the singe bale. I have the studio all torn apart and the floors will be started on Monday. Will post a photo of my make shift studio on my porch, too dark right now. This is 8" x 8" oil on canvas, framed  $110.  SOLD

White Hall Farm

This was painted on site looking north-west in White Hall on a woman's property that I met. When I found out what house she lives in, I asked if I could paint in her front lawn because I knew she had a great view! 30" x 46" oil on canvas, $1,350.  SOLD, thanks Rachel and Peter!
