"Morning Stroll In The Italian Garden"

"Morning Stroll In The Italian Garden" 11" x 14" oil on panel

Early morning mist was well on its' way to making this painting overly gray, until an amazing ray of light broke through giving this piece just what it needed for extra interest. When these fleeting moments appear, we just have to grab them and go!

October at Biltmore

On location at Biltmore - photo by Larry Westfall

Last week, on the most splendid October morning, I was painting on location at George Vanderbilt's spectacular Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. Not a bad spot to plop down your easel! This photo was shot by Larry Westfall, visiting from Houston, Texas.

"River Bank Morning"

"River Bank Morning" oil on panel 20" x 24"

This painting was done on the banks of the river that borders the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. It was a glorious morning, and what intrigued me was the effect of the warm morning light surrounded by the coolness of the early day. This painting is also featured at The Crescent Gallery in Spartanburg, SC.
