Small Works

I have always loved painting still lifes. This year I was very fortunate to study with outstanding still life painters Elizabeth Robbbins and Jeff Legg. They both helped me so much. My efforts this year have placed me in four national shows and one regional. The hope for next year is more learning and improvement. http://dailybrushwork.com/grid2.aspx?OJSID=14873&OID=13&GSID=4117&pg=19

Painting P. Allen Smith Moss Mountain

When a great opportunity was given to me by the staff at P. Allen Smith’s Moss Mountain I could not believe my good fortune. Painting all the beauty at the wonderful place is a great experience. There a separate gardens - the vegetable garden, the rose garden and the flower gardens with paths working east to west below the house. P. Allen’s poultryville which was established to maintain rare breeds of birds is a delight. I have three more weeks at this beautiful place.

New series

In October I will have a show at P Allen Smiths Moss Mountain Farm. During my last visit I was inspired by the floral setups in the kitchen, These are part of interior series for the show,

More flowers just on a flow.

Lots of minis this week. Here are three of my favorites.

I love painting roses. I never experienced them growing up and can't ever get enough of them now.
