Had a fine, hot time painting in Marshall, NC with the Asheville Plein Air Painters. Marshall was devastated from Hurricane Helene, but there are hopeful signs of recovery. But how can they NOT have a permanent Post Office? Geez. Where's the $$$$, Don? Across from On Your Bike, I spotted this fine VFW mural & gave it a go. Complex, patriotic & optimistic it was. It's a WIP 8 X 10" oil.

A Day With The Daylilies
It’s a work in progress but almost finished with “A Day With Daylilies.” I need to decide if I’m keeping the rooster sculpture, and work on some refinements in lilies and shadows. Oil, 8 X 10” on panel.
Summer Iris - original oil painting commission, 18 X 24". I walked thru fields bird-watching yesterday & enjoyed the deep scents of summer grasses.

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.
