Hey Friends,  This piece of work will be installed at the Jefferson Center in DT Roanoke, Va. on Nov. 16th.  It will be hanging with 9 others of my own and the other artists that make up the Double Line Painters will each have 10 paintings in this show.  We also have Patrick and Mitchell of the Goose Creek Gallery FAME joining us.

Make plans to visit our reception on Nov. 29 from 2 to 4pm for a REAL close look at all the beauties on display.

Thanks for stopping in.

COLORFUL ORIGINAL STILL LIFE PAINTING AND BISON IN THEM THAR HILLS

Hey Friends,  I just added this pretty to my ETSY Store-Click there.

It was painted with oils and cold wax so it has a different feel and a softer look.  'Tis fun to paint that way.

Thursday, three of us with the DLP went over Catawba Mountain to an area called Paint Bank.  I love to go there.  The grounds around the Paint Bank Store and restaurant are beautiful.  Simple but you can see a painting every where you turn.  There is a lovely creek and the old Tingler Mill and there is a fish pond feeding into the mill wheel.

And if you drive a couple miles past the store you will run into the buffalo herds.  Much bigger than the last time I saw them.  They always appear to be very cautious or anxious around humans.  Not like the buffalo in commercials with the big long sticky tongues trying to get a French Fry!

So now I have some new fodder for paintings and I need to get busy.

Hope your week is wonderful.  And if you know of a colorful gang of maples please let me know.
