Oh, how I needed some morning calm, after dealing with very frustrating computer issues for hours.. So this peaceful little scene was just the thing.  It is 5x7. And, finally, I've fixed the paypal issues, so you can just click herese!

I thnk I'd like to paint a full size version of this one some day. I love the feel of morning light as it glitters on all the surfaces.  As I paint, I sometimes make up stories  and for this one, I imagined that this gal is living her dream of owning a horse and entering a few riding competitions. She gets to the stables at the crack of dawn for some practice, and she's done now, taking her beloved partner for his cool down.  She watches some other riders beyond the fence working on their own skills as she walks him out.   This one is 5x5, oil on panel.

 I really, really needed a dose of sunshine today! Here in New England, it is cold, raw, dark, dreary, and raining. So, if I can't get the real thing, I can create a little summer on canvas.  I was thinking of those perfect summer days as a kid, and I hope it brings back pleasant memories for you as well, no matter where you live!  This one is 5x5.  To purchase, please click here.

 Here is a little scene from Venice. It was sold before I could post it.  I wanted to focus on the way the light flows in from the left through the buildings, and hits the end of the brick wal and the green boat.  I also love the laundry hanging up. (it was actually in the photo just like that)

 Massanutten Mountain's rugged rocky ridgeline rises above the Shenandoah Valley. This view shows the dip down to Shawl Gap, not far from Front Royal, VA.  I plan to run a 100 mile race here in May. size: 6 x 6.  To purchase, please click here.    SOLD
