Groveton Farm III. 6x10, oil on linen panel. 2014. I just finished updating this small painting of the wheat fields at Groveton Farm which I had originally painted at the end of July.

Started on Location

Treeline. 9x12, oil on linen panel. 2014 I started this painting on location at Riverside Potomac Farm in Lucketts, VA.

Barns on Shelburne Glebe Road. 8x10, oil on linen panel. 2014 I painted this small landscape with deliberately subdued colors and spent most of my time focused on the way the light wraps around the tops of the trees. There are a lot of architectural elements in the painting, but the way they a...
