Looking Towards Salem, Va. from Glenvar Area

 

Hey Friends,  Here is a very Autumn colored vista from the RR Donnelly business in Salem, Va.

Wish I could climb on top of their building, I bet the view would be fantastic.

It's for auction on Ebay, starting at 99 cents.

Have a great week.

Ebay Auctions and Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Va.

 

Hey Friends,  some new work added to Ebay for auction starting at 99 cents.  This is titled "Old Stucco" .  It is the office for Shenandoah Baptist Church on Williamson Rd. here in Roanoke, Va.  I think it gives the building character but you know they don't.  They want a shiny new place.

 

This piece is also on Ebay, HERE.  That is some mist burning off in the background.  Did I get a little carried away with the colors?

 

And this large painting "Happy Trails" is 24"x36" in oils.  We will be hanging this along with many more at the Jefferson Center this coming Tuesday.  Hope you can go for any one of their performances and take in the art exhibit.

Electric Lines

 

Hey Friends,  This mini was painted after a walk through the neighborhood.  On Wildwood Rd., right off I81, most of this summer, VDOT, has been sprucing up the pavement or AEP (I assume) has been cutting down trees.  Lots of trees have grown into the electric lines and needed to come down before winter arrived.  They also replaced the poles with taller ones and farther from the road.  They did a great job too.

 

Of course the old poles with their boxes and cans make a more pleasant painting, so I've got enough photos to last a lifetime.  And we know the birds don't mind perching on new wires.

Still having problems with the DPW sight but you can click HERE for Ebay.

Snow on the Crazy People at the Top of the Hill

 

Hey Friends,  I painted this late last week from photos I took last year.  This is #6 in an ongoing series about those Crazy People.  There were several before I started this blog and finally had to start numbering them.  I snuck up the hill when I was sure no one was home to get the photos.

Ebay Auction Here

 

This one I finished today.  It is 14 x 7 " and a shallow wrapped canvas.  The sides are blue.  I have decided to put this in my Etsy shop because I have neglected it for so long.  I don't know what happens to me.  Why do I get bored and neglect things for so long??  Why? Why?

Because you are an impatient person. 

 

Tomorrow I will be in Bedford at the Goose Creek Gallery, painting with my Buddies.

Stop in and say HI !

Snow Scape

 

Hey Friends,  Another small one for EBAY.  This one is framed in a plain black frame, ready for display.  The auction starts at 99 cents.

 

For some reason (I just sent them a question) DPW has not been pulling my blog posts at midnight like they are supposed to.  Several small paintings have come and gone.  Usually things like this is my fault but we shall see.

 

Just FYI, my painting buds and I (the Double Line Painters & the link is over there on the right sidebar) will be painting in Bedford at the Goose Creek Gallery this Thursday.  This is a beautiful gallery full of neat, nifty originals so come by and chat with us.  We love company!

Cat's Blue Sky - New Auction

 

Hey Friends,  New painting I just finished last night.  I'm going to varnish it this morning.  I used a photo my dear friend, Ms. Cat, sent me from her slice of heaven in Florida.

 

Love to paint palms.  Probably because they remind me of a warmer climate.  It's freezing cold here in the SW Mountains of Virginia.  It's raining right now but will turn into snow later in the day according to the meterologists.  I painted the frame several years ago and have been looking for it for a long while.  It's good to clean and purge your studio every 10 years or so. LOL.

 

Love to paint flamingos also.  Guess I better put myself in gear.

The Ebay auction is HERE if you want to look it over.

New Auction and more Windy Plein Aire

 

Hey Friends,  Been a little while.  I'm still here and going strong.  Out there with the other members of the Double Line Painters in Salem today.

But first go check out this flock for auction on EBAY.

 

Here is the view we had this morning at Salem Terrace @ Harrogate.  Beautiful day after all the poo poo reports from the weather men.  The clouds were really moving on.

 

Here is the little sketch I finished before we had to break for lunch.  Plein Air is hard work.

We, the DLP's, will be painting, or making cards, next week, Wed. the 12th, at 2nd Helpings Gallery on Williamson Rd. from about 10:30 til 1.

We would love for you to come by and chat.  Take a tour through this impressive little gallery.

 

Til then - Happy Trails
