A peek at the Instagram feed

This study became the subject of two larger paintings this month. It was my favorite view from a day spent painting at the #blueridgeparkway in Cherokee, NC, during the @pleinairconvention. 44/100 #100daysoflandscapestudies 8x8, oil on paper #the10

It was a great night in @southendclt for First Friday! Beautiful weather, delicious tasting from @bondstreetwines, and so many lovely guests at @studioworksclt! Thank you for joining us, Charlotte!
I’ve been quietly (and slowly) continuing my #100daysoflandscapestudies project. These oil sketches, painted this summer, have been the source for recent paintings. 42/100 #the100dayproject
