Flowers I


This isn't the best photo, but my husband took the painting off to be framed almost as soon as I finished it.  Inspired by the blooms of late summer I whipped this one out easily.  Easily meaning that after the incubation period in my mind, it flowed from my brushes.  This was actually the first still life in a series that hasn't stopped.  I try to go back to painting landscapes and nothing works except another still life....

Beulah Road Majesty

I'm always inspired by the Shenandoah Valley.  Beulah Road in Keezletown has pastures and some homes.  Stands of trees in the pastures with the Appalachian Mountains  in the background were the inspiration for this painting.
