A View of Short Hill
Oct 30, 2013
A View of Short Hill, Hillsboro, VA. 7"x11" oil on linen panel. 2013. In this painting I was trying to capture some of the early fall colors that I saw at Stoneybrook Organic Farm in Hillsboro. The paint-out day was heavy overcast and rainy so I worked on this back at my studio. My goal ...
Oakland Green Farm
Oct 30, 2013
Oakland Green Farm , Lincoln, VA. 9.5"x6" oil on linen panel. 2013. This week's outing with Loudoun Sketch Club was in Lincoln, VA. It turned out to be a fine day with lots of sun and cooler temperatures. I did this small painting entirely on location and (somehow) didn't make any ...

Oct 29, 2013
9"x12". Oil on linen, mounted on panel. 2013. This is the rabbit that ate all the Swiss chard in my garden earlier in the year. I was able to get close enough to him to catch a couple of photos before he took off - with a tummy full of chard, no doubt. I painted this very minimally, and ...

Plein Air Painting at McClellan Farm
Sep 10, 2013
Plein Air Sketch in Neersville, VA. 5"x7" oil on linen panel. 2013. A plein air sketch that I did at a paint-out in Neersville, VA last week. It's the sketchiest of sketches, but I like the simplicity of painting like this and being free just to react to the scene before me. ...
