I was away for the 4th of July weekend in West Virginia painting. I remembered to take a series of photos while I worked so you could see the progress.
This was the view.
The set-up and a start to the painting.
This is my helper….Jed. He spends most of his “painting” time running and chasing the deer and bunnies away so they don’t bother me. Isn’t he helpful????!!!!!
And below is the painting about 90% complete. When I get back to the studio I generally make a few minor changes to a
painting that I have done on location.

Hilton Head Island, South Beach II is an oil on canvas panel measuring 9″x12″ and is available for $165.
This was a fun painting because I spent most of the time watching a grandfather and his grandchildren playing in the water. The kids were young and really giving Grandpa a workout. I’ll bet he will be glad when their vacation ends. 🙂

A Landscape Lesson is an oil on canvas panel measuring 9″x12″. This was a lesson for new students in art class. By using this composition we were able to learn to paint sky, mountains, trees, buildings, grass, and water. We covered a lot of subjects with this one.

Lighthouse at Martha’s Vineyard, after Ray Ellis is an oil on canvas panel measuring 12″x24″ and is available for $245. This was a demonstration in art class that one of the students asked to do as she is going to visit relatives next month at Martha’s Vineyard and wanted to paint something for them.
Ray Ellis is a wonderful artist who used to live at the Vineyard and now lives in Savannah. He does many wonderful landscapes and still life and we have studied his work.
Don’t forget tonight is 3rd Thursday Art Walk and the Opening Reception for the Member Show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

White Quince is an oil on canvas measuring 20″x16″ and is available for $295.
I love this time of the year when everything is blooming. There are so many subjects for painting. I generally take lots of photos during April and May so that I have subject matter for painting throughout the year. Building a reference file is important if you paint everyday.

Mean Rooster III is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x6″ and is available for $125.
Mean Rooster belonged to Suzanne McMinn of Chickens in the Road.com fame. If you haven’t checked out her blog yet take a look to the left at Sites of Interest and you will see a link to her blog. It’s terrific.
Mean Rooster chased her around the yard and she had to fend him off with a broom!
