Waiting Hayrolls - SOLD

Waiting Hayrolls
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

What you see a lot of when you travel in the country this time of year. We passed one hill that was just covered with them, scattered all over the hill side. Very picturesque.

Clutter Barn 3 - SOLD

Clutter Barn 3
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

There seems to be a lot of interest in the West Virginia pieces, so here's yet another version of the abandoned barn on the Clutter Farm. The "girls" I know who grew up there mentioned that they thought the barn should look bigger, since it is a two story affair, so in this one, I tried for a bigger look.

Barn and Old Cow Trough - SOLD

Old Barn, Clutter Homestead - SOLD

Old Barn, Cutter Homestead
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

When we were here, I was timid to go through the grass to the barn, thinking about snakes. But my friend T, who grew up here, and used to play in this barn (it seemed so much bigger then, she reports), had no hesitation at all, and tromped all over the property, looking at the foundations of the old house, picking pears from the old pear tree, and generally enjoying her childhood memories. It is a beautiful spot.

West Virginia Dreams - SOLD

West Virginia Dreams
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

I always used to think that for barns and fields and hay rolls, it was a trip to Pennsylvania, but I've changed my mind. It's West Virginia! I'm ready to go back...mountain vistas, lottsa hay rolls, so many barns, beautiful rolling hills...yummy!

Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I was blessed to go along for the weekend with a friend headed to West Virginia. Soooooo beautiful in the Allegheny Mountains, rolling farmland, roads winding up one side of a mountain and down the other. I enjoyed a feast for the eyes. We stopped to see the farm where she grew up, climbed a fence to walk up the hill to see the foundations and barn, still there, with the mountains all around. Lovely!

This was a good three day project, and the largest white floral I've done to date.
I would love to sell it locally for pick up, but I can find a large box, if needs be.

Sunset Revised - SOLD

Sunset revised
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

This one is revised from a September 5th piece called Evening Melody.
I have softened the colors in the foreground, lightened the blues in the clouds, and softened the oranges overall. I think this is much more cohesive.

Thanks for looking.

Isn't this one lovely? My kind of a fall afternoon, a little dreamy, warm, a bit of hazy sunshine, and scattered leaves on the ground.

Thinking Fall - SOLD

Thinking Fall

SOLD.

Have you noticed the trees just beginning to turn? Are there leaves on the ground already?
Here in Maryland, we've got signs of fall everywhere, some cool mornings, leaves on the ground, school buses.... Anyway, this is the first of the fall paintings, and there will be more. I love this time of year, in a melancholy way, sad to see it getting dark earlier, sad to know that summer is as good as over.

September Meadow - SOLD

September Meadow

This is a revised version of a piece from September 2nd.
I beefed up the sky a little, deleted the stream, and gave the trees more "punch."
Thanks for looking.
