Several weeks ago I was commissioned to paint a farewell gift for a staffer leaving an office here in town. Her favorite hike at Shenandoah National Park is Mary’s Rock so that was the subject for the painting.

They gave it to her yesterday and she liked it!

It was fun to paint the demo piece while talking about being a full-time artist. I really enjoy doing this type of presentation.

The Seagull is acrylic on 24″ x 24″ canvas and is available for $225.

4 – Flowers In

5 – 90% complete

While working at Delilah’s Art & Gift Shop on Sunday I set up a table on the porch and painted. I like to do that because people are curious and will ask questions about art and painting when they see you working on a piece. This is a look at the progression of my Sunday painting.

Of course my “kids” like to take a look and a sniff and sometimes they aren’t so gentle so flowers get smushed. So yesterday when they trampled some I picked them up and put them in a vase when we got home and took them to art class.
