The group at the 1st Saturday Paint Party created wonderful paintings of Hay Bales in the Field yesterday. Great work ladies. And what fun. It is always good to paint with such a cheerful group. Keep up the good work.

I spent a delightful morning painting a sunflower field at a beautiful farm north of town yesterday.
It has been awhile since I have been out to paint and I had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
As with most Plein Air paintings that I do this one is almost finished but will get a little adjustment now that I have it in the studio. You can see the step-by-step progress in this collage.
Sunflower View I is an oil on canvas panel measuring 11″ x 14″. SOLD!

Yesterday I met the nice young man who was the recipient of the painting that I did recently of the “View from Harrisonburg”. (You can see the step by step photos here.) The painting was a graduation gift as he just graduated from JMU.
And he wanted to take a photo with me when he picked it up. And he promised to send me a photo of where he hangs the painting.

I enjoyed working with a delightful family last night for a special family reunion Paint Party. These ladies were so much fun and we laughed and painted and had a wonderful time. The “Moonlight Over the Mountain” theme was to honor their grandmother who often sang that song to them. What a special Paint Party! Thanks girls for letting me be a part of it.

I recently received a commission to paint a scene from Harrisonburg with the mountains in the background. It is a graduation gift. It took a little longer than normal because it’s a larger painting, 18″x24″ acrylic on canvas.
You can see the progress in these photos:

Pet Portrait Demonstration at the Library
Last week I was asked to present a demonstration of a pet portrait at Samuel Public Library Summer Reading program. Their theme this summer is pets so my work fit in nicely. It was fun to paint the demo piece while talking about being a full-time artist. I really enjoy doing this type of presentation.

I have painted this view many times. It is the one we see as we look west from our little town. This one, Signal Knob for Cindy, is a 4″ x 12″ acrylic on gallery wrap canvas and was a Christmas gift for a friend who doesn’t live here any longer.
