We got to Blue Ridge Daylilies early - around 8? - because the temp was going to climb. The daylily fields were in full bloom, with flowers of all shapes and colors. I spied a friend painting in the shade, which spoke to me. It was a battle between him and the rooster sculpture - so they both won out. Oil, 8 X 10”, available.

The Confidence To Admit Mistakes
Ah, painting challenges. I painted the framed piece on site maybe 9 years ago. I was dissatisfied with it, & it never sold. I finally listened to my gut: the mill wheel was overly charming, busy and saccharine - it has to go. It's the waterfall I loved; so back to some surgical work to bring it all alive. You never, never know enough.
"Beaver Lake, Early Morning" - Sold Adventure
Sold! I thought this piece was stolen. Honestly, it wasn’t where it was supposed to be in one of my galleries. It’s one of my favorite pieces, a plein air from Beaver Lake in Asheville. Well, the gallery had put it in their front window, didn’t let me know, someone spied it and bought it yesterday. I only found out where it had been placed when it sold. Glad it worked out but oh, oh, the angst. Thanks for the support.
Beautiful Glassware "The Secret Garden" Available!
In creating this piece, I sought to capture the vitality of nature, its whispers, and secrets. My strokes are bold yet tender, a fusion of expressionism and impressionism with a touch of the abstract. This luminous glass/acrylic piece is available now.
