Its been such a long time since my last blog, I almost forgot... Spring has been very slow in arriving but is here at last. I've been making attempts to get out to paint.
I had a bad fall after our one and only snow storm here in Virginia and its taking me a long time to recover.
I painted this little crab apple 2 weeks ago now its covered in buds.....yeh spring!
I have always loved painting images of moon. Ive tried but its really challenging to paint nocturne images from life. Now that the weather is warming I 'll keep trying. $550
My interest in art began as a young child. Growing up in New England, I would spend endless hours drawing animals and other images from nature. I studied painting at the Massachusetts College of Art, where I received my my BFA in Painting in 1981.
In 1986 I relocated to Norfolk Virginia and have worked from my downtown studio at the d'Art Center, since 1992.
For several years I created landscape paintings in oil pastels. At the present time I enjoy painting plein air when ever possible, working from my studio in oils and oil pastel and teaching classes and workshops and private sessions in oil and oil pastel.
