• After The Storm

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 24 x 1.5. Storms are always temporary, even if they seem to go on forever in the moment. Weather-wise, or metaphorically in our personal trials and tribulations, the sun always eventually breaks throug…

• Eastern Gaze

  Oil, Canvas, 60 x 48 x 1.5. It's early morning as I head south through the Shenandoah Valley. I looked east after pulling into an overlook and was overwhelmed by the calm, misty spectacle of the early morning sunrise pa…

• Something Fishy

  Oil, Canvas, 24 x 18 x 1.5. A koi pond in a nearby vineyard caught my attention during a recent visit. As I neared the water's edge, the fish happily raced towards me, most likely expecting a treat. As I stood watching…

• Falling Into Winter

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 24 x .5. The perpetual change of one season to another, each offering its own spectacle of light, color, and texture. At least that's how I appreciate it from an artistic perspective. In this painting,…

• Snowball Sight

  Oil, Canvas, 20 x 20 x 1.5. They're out of season just now, but the touch of winter weather we've had recently in the Atlanta area inspired me to go ahead and finish this painting of joyous spring- and summer-blooming s…

• The Valley Above

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 40 x 1.5. It's just before sunrise. The sleepy valley below remains bathed in misty shadows, waiting for the sun to brighten the morning sky and dispel the last vestiges of the evening before. A daily…

• Mountain Pass

  Oil, Canvas, 40 x 40 x 1.5. Visual inspiration was everywhere during a recent leisurely drive through the Shenandoah Valley. Sprawling pastures surrounded by rolling hills and steep mountainsides provided a spectacle of…

• Morning Whisper

  Oil, Canvas, 18 x 24 x 1.5. It's early morning, the rising sun gently awakening the landscape below much like a soft voice whispering that it's time to begin the new day. Morning Whisper. Price includes free shipping wi…

• The Third Season

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 40 x 1.5. In the Atlanta area, there's a running joke about our having many more than the traditional four seasons of weather. But the North Georgia mountains offer a more stable seasonal pattern, in t…

• And Then, This

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 40 x 1.5. Nestled in the mountains of North Georgia is a quiet stream happily winding its way through lush forest, occasionally forming a gentle waterfall as the elevation changes over exposed rock. Yo…

• Morning Blues

  Oil, Canvas, 36 x 48 x 1.5. We all get them sometimes, but on this particular recent early morning ride through the Blue Ridge Mountains, they were spectacular. Morning Blues. Enjoy! Price includes free shipping within…

• Mountain Morning

  Oil, Canvas, 40 x 30 x 1.5. Another landscape/skyscape painting inspired by a recent trip through the Shenandoah Valley. An early morning start provided a spectacular view of the sunrise painting a beautiful landscape b…

• Hillside

  Oil, Canvas, 36 x 24 x 1.5. Early morning shadows cast by the rising sun, too many textures and hues of green to count. If you're lucky enough to pass through a valley at this time of day like me, this is what you'll pr…

• Summer Sizzler

  Oil, Canvas, 12 x 12 x 1.5. I planted some peonies this year and was rewarded with many beautiful blooms, which were what inspired this small 12x12 painting. The blooms have faded away as summer winds down to hand the s…

• It's Early

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 40 x 1.5. It's early as the morning mist blends the landscape into a muted palette of soft, hazy quiet. It's Early, but worth rising for. Price includes free shipping within the continental U.S. for un…

• Hydrangea Hello

  Oil, Canvas, 36 x 36 x 1.5. We're on the cusp of hydrangea blooming season here in Georgia, and, though I struggle to grow them myself for some reason, I've always loved the sight of hydrangea blossoms waving in the war…

• Purple Daze

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 40 x 1.5. Lavender is known for its relaxing scent. But few things soothe the soul more than the sight of a lavender field, in this case tips of lavender pointing skyward, providing a gentle contrast t…

• First Frost

  Oil, Canvas, 20 x 20 x 1.5. The changing of the seasons. From the greenery and warmth of long summer days to the hues of fall and chilly early mornings. And, for the first time in twelve months or so, that magical First…

• On the Rocks

  Oil, Canvas, 24 x 36 x 1.5. It doesn't happen often, but it was extremely cold here in Atlanta one Christmas weekend (at least by Atlanta standards) and my pond, waterfall and stream created a beautiful frozen scene tha…

• Through the Trees

  Oil, Canvas, 36 x 36 x 1.5. It was a cool misty morning in early October as I carefully followed the mountain trail deep into thick forest. Warming rays from the sun tried in vain to pierce the mist and heavy tree canop…

• Doe Run

  Oil, Canvas, 30 x 30 x 1.5. Almost anywhere you look in the North Georgia Mountains offers an amazing vantage point. Dense forest, distant mountains, winding paths, wildlife and much more. I am blessed to have such a vi…

• Bygone

  Oil, Canvas, 36 x 36 x 1.5. The mountains of North Georgia offer a beautiful variety of subjects for oil paintings. In this case, a forgotten barn that long ago abandoned its primary function. As I observed the scene I…
