I've been on a painting SPREE lately!  I did this one from the sun porch with some leftover paint from yesterday.  95 degrees in the shade, but at least there aren't mosquitos on the porch, and I was able to turn on the ceiling fan...

It's probably not a coincidence that some of my best paintings happen when my kids are away at Nana and Papa's...my only goal was to not overdo it. That might be why the plate is not a perfect shape. I was just trying not to screw it up...

I like this one.  It tasted good, too.

I've painted this scene near Bryce Canyon, Utah, once before. Still trying to get it right...is it better than the original, below?  The original sold at the Marriott Craft Show a few years back.  I like how I used a little more red in the trunks of the trees in the original...maybe I need to try it one more time.

Just downstream from the confluence of the Bullpasture River and Cowpasture River in Highland County, VA, near the "town" of Williamsville. Town is in quotation marks because there is one stop sign and a trout hatchery in Williamsville...there used to be a nice country store there, but it closed down years ago. Still, the Bullpasture River Valley is one of my favorite places on earth.

I struggled with this one and almost wiped it. Then, I debated whether or not to post it.

It's tough to muster the creative energy to paint when you've been wrangling a two and five year old, but I made it happen today. This is an image from our trip to McDowell, Va this July. I'm happy with my cows.
