Mountain Church Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Appalachian Small White Church, 8x10" SOLD
This is one of the many, small, white, churches, found in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They all have their own charm, and I love driving around in search of them.
The beauty of the red tree, was an added bonus, to my find, but, this is a charming scene, anytime of the year. It pays to have your cell phone with you!
Have a great day!

Appalachia Oil Painting, Blue Ridge Mountains, Summer Landscape, 11x14x1.5" Original
It looks like summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As our lives change from day to day, Mother Nature is telling us,that all will someday be well. The earth is surviving very well without us, thank you, and it is up to us humans to change our routines as life will go on, with or without us.
I would prefer it went on with us!
Although the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed, for some time, it is now open and giving people in the area a place to drive and walk and enjoy nature.
This is an 11x14" original oil painting. The 1.5" deep sides are painted black, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.
Stay safe!

A Painting Workshop to Remember!
Today, I am repeating a post, from a few years ago. I think it is worthy of your attention, again. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, my friends Carmen and Donna and I drove to Fernandina Beach, FL to attend a 4 day workshop with Elio Camacho. Elio is one of my favorite painters and my very favorite instructor and I have been lucky enough to attend with workshops twice a year for the past three years.
I started each day with this beautiful sunrise over the ocean, while eating breakfast at the hotel.
This is one of Elio's 36x48" demos that he paints in just three hours!
Here Elio met a challenge to paint without darks. He often states a painting should bring it's own light. I think this one meets that requirement
Another of his larger than life paintings.
This was a 25 minute demo he did for us on foam core. He pushed the color even more than usual and got wild and crazy.
His brushwork is very exciting...something I am hoping to bring to my work.
Elio spent a year painting blue studies, then moved on and studied yellows and reds. He likes to set up still life, to challenge his students, all in a single color. He believes red is the most difficult color to paint. If you can do a red painting, you can really see color. This was a 20 minute demo he did for us.
We hated to leave the workshop after 3.5 intense and fun days. To console ourselves, we had a final lunch of fried shrimp at our favorite eatery.
A final photo of Carmen and Donna, de-stressing with ice cream in front of Island Art Association. We thank the members for hosting us once again. Then we hop into our car for the drive home.
One last classic Elio demo that he painted in about 15 minutes, out of his head. I almost cried when he scrapped it off the next morning.
Needless to say, we are excited to return for his next Florida workshop in the spring. You can find his workshop schedule here.

Tropical Landscape Painting, Coastal Wall Decor, Palm Trees on the Shoreline, Tropical Giclee Print On Canvas
You would think that with everyone staying at home , with our activities curtailed, that time would drag. I find it to be just the opposite.
So, time flew for me, and for most of the year, I had no time or inclination to paint. Finally, I am back in the studio!
It is very reassuring for me to get back to normal activity, in at least one aspect of my life.
I hope your finding a little silver lining in your life too.
