Down to the Wire

I just have another day or so to finish everything up. I will try to get the last of them up before Saturday, but I may run out of time. Hope you enjoy these.

Glorious Ginkos, 6"x12", oil on canvas, $135 SOLD

When the ginko tress change in the fall the yellow leaves seem to literally glow. Floyd Avenue in the Fan is just a vision of bright yellow, so I had to sit out there and capture these.

Camellias at Night, 12"x12", oil on canvas, $340

This was inspired by the first time I saw a camellia in bloom. It was a late at night, very cold for March, and snow started to fall...an unusual event for Richmond. Being the snow loving northerner that I am, I ran out to enjoy the snow and was overwhelmed by the camellias in bloom. I just had to paint the beautiful blossoms.

Approaching Dusk, 20"x10", oil on canvas, $430 ($475 framed in black)

The end of a beautiful day in the mountains and the colors in the trees as the sun began to set inspired me to paint this scene.

Yellow Canna, 12"x12", oil on canvas, $340

These flowers were so gorgeous in the garden, I had to try and capture their beauty.

Dusk in the Garden, 8"x16", oil on canvas, Available at Crossroads Gallery

The brilliant roses against the approaching darkness made them almost glow...it was definitely worth trying to capture that moment.

Perfect Summer Afternoon, 20"x10", oil on canvas, $430 SOLD

A gorgeous blue sky, puffy clouds, opens fields with the trees and mountains in the background...I had to fight the heat and the bugs to try to paint it!
