Pennsylvania Farmhouse

I don't paint a lot of landscapes, but this red farmhouse caught my eye when traveling through Clarion County in Pennsylvania. I loved the contrast of the red and green, as well as the shadows from the trees. Oil on 9"h x 12"w Ray Mar canvas panel. SOLD.

Wexford Boat

My husband and I recently took a whirlwind trip to Ireland. We spent a week visiting Dublin, Killarney, Cork, and Wexford, as well as a few towns in between. It will be difficult deciding which photos to paint first, as Ireland is so varied in its landscapes. It seems that an entire world exists within one country. I plan to have many paintings of pubs, castles, mountains, beaches and boats on the way! Oil on linen on 6"h x 8"w Ray Mar panel. SOLD.

MORNING FOX HUNT

I wish I could get a better picture of this painting. There is so much black and therefore, glare. I painted this from a photo that I took at a fox hunt a couple of weeks ago. My mother and I followed the horses on foot, and successfully evaded encounters with hind legs. We walked and ran about four miles through fields and trails, which was an awesomely great time. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts for bearing with us and for the adventure! At one point we were standing quietly on the trail and something was running at us. I thought it was a wayward hound, but as it approached I saw that it was smaller and fuzzier, and realized that it was the fox! He/she saw us and quickly ran the other way. And don't worry, animal lovers, neither fox, hound, nor horse was harmed during the hunt; they don't actually kill the fox on these hunts. This oil painting is on 24" x 30" stretched canvas. No longer available.

A Street in Charleston

My husband and I traveled to Asheville, Savannah and Charleston in September. Even heading for fall, the weather was very much like summer. In Pennsylvania, we had not experienced that kind of weather this year on even the most summery day. The palm trees (not exhibited in this painting) and the heat made me feel pleasantly far from home. This painting is 18" w x 24" h. This painting will be for sale on ArtQuiver.com on December 24. SOLD.
