The Yard Party, oil on linen panel, 24 x 18 in. (canvas size), painted from life on a farm during Plein Air Easton 2026. It was one of the two pieces I chose as my competition paintings. The other piece, If Boats Could Talk, shown below -- won Third Place! Click the image from more info. $4500
Zoofari, oil on linen panel, 16 x 20 in. (canvas size) -- painted plein air at the Knoxville Zoo during the Artists on Location plein air competition. There is something extraordinarily special about standing in one place for hours watching life unfold right before your eyes. This carousel is joyous. I can hear the giggles, music and conversations all around. The biggest challenge with this piece was that the ride never stopped in the same place so I was spending my time with my neck on a swivel trying to visually capture what animal followed the other.

Artwork Shown - Art Lover's Guide to the Mid-Atlantic Region
Note: All three paintings that appeared in the Art Lover's Guide recently went back up on my easel for some changes. (Some more than others.) Hopefully, you love the modified versions as much as I do. Shown below are the latest and final versions.
Purple in Provence, oil on linen panel, 18 x 24 in. (canvas size) -- painted plein air in Valensole, France this past June. I took my personal painting trip to the South of France early this year -- the only time available between plein air competitions that the lavender could potentially be in bloom. My earlier visit than in other years meant I almost had the fields to myself (vs. full of busloads of admirers). When I would have normally visited (early to mid-July), this year the fields were already harvested. Serendipity follows me around. Regularly. Click the image for more info on this piece. $4500
More Flower Power, oil on linen, 30 x 24 in. (canvas size) -- a studio piece based on a flower market stall in Rome and all the other flower shops and stalls I've painted from life. $6250. Click the image or the title for more info.
Colorado Colors, oil on linen, 24 x 24 in. (canvas size) - painted from life on location during Telluride Plein Air 2026. During this year's Telluride Plein Air, I painted 18 pieces and sold 14 -- with this one still available while typing this. Shipping back home to Virginia was definitely easier than usual -- and I hand-carried this one, still a little wet, on the flights back home and layover in the Denver airport.
