Rustic Barn Landscape Painting, Rural Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Palette Knife Painting
Last month, my friends and I went on a photo shoot in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We rode the country roads, looking for scenic farms.
I couldn't resist this old ragged barn, on it's last legs. I painted with a palette knife hoping to bring the scene to life.
It was a hot September day and the grasses had turned a golden brown.
How nice to be an artist. I truly believe we train our eyes to see so much beauty, that often goes unnoticed in daily life. What a blessing we have!

Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel
One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.
Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees. It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.

Fall Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Autumn Trees, 6x8" Oil on Canvas
I posted this last autumn. How did autumn get here so fast? Time seems to go faster and faster each year.
 |
| purchase here |
We have just returned from time in the mountains, rushing home to monitor hurricane season in Florida. When we return to the mountains, this will be a typical scene.
It is so easy to overdue autumn colors. Your eye tells you the intense colors are what you are seeing, but when you put it on canvas, it is not believable. Time to tone it down a touch. Nature is maybe not quite that bright.

Woes of a Plein Air Painter, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Florida Landscape Painting
It's not easy being a plein air painter in Florida, especially in the summer.
 |
| Purchase Here I don't claim to be a plein air painter, but occasionally, I venture out. This time I was in a plein air workshop, and let me tell you, it was not easy standing on the beach in 90+ degrees, hour after hour! Did I not tell you, I am a pretty slow painter? |
I though I was fairly well prepared, but my sunburnt ears and hands would beg to differ!
Well, they say, "You must suffer for your art.".....I did!!
Thanks for viewing.

Small Mountain Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting,SOLD, 6x8" Original Oil
Inspired by a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I am always inspired by the stunning, scenic, mountain views.
I like to display these small pieces on a shelf, along with my other "treasures". Many times, I don't even bother to frame them.
I am in the mountains now, and it is a cool sunny morning. This Florida girl is running around in layers, trying to stay warm in the morning and stripping down in the afternoon heat. Of course, the North Carolina natives, consider me to be rather wimpy. So be it!
