“The Terraced Grove, Tuscany”- Watercolor Vignette

Busy day today getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, but at 5 PM I’ve finally managed to find time to post!  Today it’s a new Tuscany watercolor. I think I might be getting the hang of this watercolor thing :-) .  The vignettes are a great way to work out compositions on a small scale. I may just have to reinterpret this one into a larger oil :

We’re getting ready to take a little Thanksgiving hiatus for a few, so if I don’t have a chance to post again before I leave, happy Turkey Day! (Or if you are a veggie like me, happy carb day!)

“The Golden Pair”, plein air painting

It was so windy on Friday that painting outside was a real hazard. So I painted in my car, instead! This little vignette is of a scene along Foushee Street, right near my downtown studio in Richmond, VA.

Painting in the car has its own hazards, I must say. I’m used to stepping back to see my painting from a distance, and there was none of that. It was pretty confining too, so I had to be careful where I was pointing those brushes! But, any way, I guess it beats having my painting and all my gear slamming against the pavement.

This painting is in the “Vignettes” section of my website and may be purchased online. For more info about this piece, please click on the image or contact me!

“Autumn in Bellevue” plein air landscape painting

Today is gray and rainy, but yesterday started out as a spectacular sunny morning. So I took the opportunity to paint this little street scene in my neighborhood:

Oil on Canvas, 7×5″

 I have always admired this cute little yellow bungalo on our evening walks, and it fit right in with the blazing fall colors that lined the intersecting street.  This has to be one of the prettiest falls I’ve seen in a while in the city of Richmond. Over the next days I hope to paint as many plein air paintings as I can before the wind carries the foliage away.

“Morning Quiet in Pescallo”
Oil on Canvas, 20″ x 24″

Fresh off the easel is the painting I blogged about a bit earlier. It shows a view from Bellagio looking down on the tiny fishing village of Pescallo.  This was our morning view from our hotel room balcony. What a way to wake up!

New painting details uploaded to the website

It took me a while but I finally got around to uploading some of the plein air paintings I’ve blogged about in recent months:

Details and purchasing info for these smaller paintings  of the Eastern Shore of Maryland are in my gallery of Mini Paintings, as is the recent little autumn scene. In another section of my website, I’ve uploaded these two Eastern Shore plein air paintings in my gallery of water-related scenes:

 And finally, I mentioned yesterday that I was considering doing a touch more to the little lavender watercolor. Well, I didn’t do much but I couldn’t resist a tweak, and you can see the final image in the Vignettes section of my website. As with my other Vignettes, this one  may be purchased online  via Paypal. Update: This painting has sold!

Now that I’m getting caught up, I have some new work to upload…stay tuned!
