Woods Interior 22x18 pastel
This is a pastel study I did on while on a camping trip this summer. The woods were very dark and the sun dappled through into this deep, green forest. Painted in North Mills River, NC.
Lake Summit

- Lake Summit 12×16 oil/canvas
- August Rain 12×16 oil on canvas
These were painted this weekend during a painting trip to Lake Summit. They were both painted from life.
- Black Plums and Lemon 9×12 pastel
This is a still life pastel I painted in the last week of July. I painted it over the course of about three days, 30 minutes at a time. Working in short sessions and stepping away freely helps the eye stay fresh.

Peony sketch 8x10 oil on wood
One of my favorite subjects and my favorite flower. They bloom for such a short time. The presence required to paint them from life is a great way to meditate on their beauty and enjoy to fleeting present. Just a moment in time…taken with gratitude.
