  • Plein Air Show: August 6th, 2010
    Come join me at the Martha Washington Inn Gallery for an opening of a plein air show on August 6, 2010. I'll be showing with a great young plein air oil painter friend, Kyle Buckland, who is pictured on the left in my painting below. That's me on the right! It's been awhile since I did plein air, so it was a fun mission to create some new paintings... even though it was in the 90's on most of the days! It was especially rewarding to work with Kyle. We both painted from a similar vantage point in front of the Martha Washington Inn one morning. It was very interesting to see our similarities and differences in color and style.

  • Visited a Gallery Lately?
    Come visit gallery director Polly Mallory at my newest gallery location inside the historic Martha Washington Inn. Abingdon is a beautiful town with many restored buildings and a quaint atmosphere reminiscent of colonial Williamsburg. It is also the home of the famed Barter Theater and a wonderful 33 mile hiking and biking trail called the Virginia Creeper Trail. This gallery is brand new but already has made a big splash. There is a bright future ahead and I am thrilled to be included among the small group of artists exhibiting there.
