I just finished this commissioned painting of a Virginia homestead. The homestead was located in Ballamy Manor, Virginia Beach Virginia. I had to work from an old photograph that was faded to sepia tones. After consulting with a great aunt, I was able to get information on the color of the house and shutters. The rest of the colors were from my own memories of living on a farm in Ohio. SOLD

This is the photograph that I had to work from to creat the 18" x 24" painting shown above.

Bluebird in Spring

 An Eastern Bluebird perched on a fence post, among clusters of apple blossoms with lady bugs and dews drops, signals the arrival of spring.

This painting was created on a 11" x 14" watercolor canvas using acrylic paints.

Red Eyed Tree Frog Leaping

I just love to paint the Red Eyed Tree Frog because of their colors. This one is my favorite!

This painting was painted on a 9" x 12" watercolor canvas using acrylic paints.

Cades Cove in Autumn

Cades Cove, in the Smoky Mountain National Park, is one of my favorite places to visit. I love the colors of autumn in the mountains of North Carolina. This landscape painting is painted in acrylic on watercolor canvas and is 16 X 20 inches. SOLD

Bald Eagle

This painting was created in the fall of 2008. The bald eagle was painted in acrylics on watercolor canvas. Painting the feathers was a challenge, but I think they turned out well. The painting has since sold, but prints will be available this spring. SOLD
