Pear Portraits

The weather has been hot so I have spent some time in the studio painting some still lifes.

Today I share Pear Portraits with you, painted on a small scale.

The shape of, the feel and taste of pears are very pleasing.

I adore painting their portraits.

Enjoy !

Meet, Greet & Learn Event

Painting in Chesapeake Bay, VA

Greetings World,
After all the posts of myself painting in all these different places, I thought you may want to see the fruits of my labor. Above is an oil painting done at Kiptopeke State Park, VA. The park is located just after coming out the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel. Beautiful place to paint.

This is a watercolor of a little tidal pool, painted from the rocks, on the bay side of Cape Charles, VA. My cousin lives near here and I always enjoy painting in the area, when I visit her.

It's not Ireland but it is a powerful place.

Hollybrook Farm Paint Out

Last week a few members of Plein Air Carolina painted at Hollybrook Farm, a lovely setting in Lexington, NC. Above are Sharon Forthofer,of Salisbury NC and in an insert Jeremy Sams of High Point NC.

"Yours truly" working on a painting of a huge Pine tree at the lakes edge with a nest of duck eggs at its base. Mother Duck was too busy swimming to sit just then.

Above is Norma Owens, of Lexington NC and Rex White of Salisbury NC. The insert is of Joyce Metters, the owner of Hollybrook Farms. Joyce raises and trains champion Morgan horses, a sturdy, all American breed.

As always, more info on the painters and their art can be found at www.pleinaircarolina.com

Painting at Barber Farm

Historic Barber Farm, in Salisbury NC, hosted a paint out for Plein Air Carolina last week. The painters had a treat as the farm is absolutely beautiful in any season but the Paperwhites were really showing off for us. Here is "yours truly" in the white hat, trying to make my Paperwhites not look like confetti.

This is Sharon Forthofer up front with "yours truly" in the back. Take a stroll on over to http://www.pleinaircarolina.com/ to see our art and more pic of painters painting.
