ORIGINAL PAINTING OF PHLOX ALONG FISHBURN CREEK

 

Hey friends,  This colorful long horizontal artwork was painted while at Fishburn Park here in the Roanoke Valley of SW Va.

Phlox and the Va. blue bells only bloom for a week or two in April so you gotta get out there when they are available.  They are a beautiful sight I look forward too every spring.

 

This is available in ETSY-HERE.

 

 

After we hung new work at the Salem Terrace yesterday, I went for a short walk on the GreenWay.

I came across this giant goose, above.  Must be something genetically modified.

I've never seen one this huge.  Look at the Canadian goose next to it and you know how BIG they are.  So this critter must be 3 ft. tall and the size of a German Shepherd.!!

And he didn't seem to like my presence.  He made a sound sort of between a bark and a honk.  And then he started swimming towards me.  And I left in a hurry.  I don't know what a goose attack feels like, not pleasant I bet, but wouldn't it be funny?

 

Anyway, Be on the look out for this giant along the Greenway between South Salem and Green Hill Park.

Hey Friends,  It's been too long since last post but this has been a crazy summer, year.  Much like the last few.  The painting above was done yesterday while visiting the Wharton Garden beside the #Bower Center in Bedford, Va.  My painting Group, the #Double Line Painters, was delivering the work done for the # "Barns of Bedford " project.

 

Here is the Ole Gal painting on the first one.  I think I need to lighten the bricks before I post here.  I took several photos as the piece progressed and will let you see them after I finish.

 

And here is the little #sky painting, started next.  I was a bit tired & lazy so I sat for this one.  Seemed to make it go faster or it could be I've painted tree lines so often, I've got the hang of it now.  This garden had some gorgeous trees.  A couple I've never seen before.  One really large tree w/large pale pods, Judy called a "Kentucky __something__Tree.

I will post the first painting tomorrow I hope.  And details about the exhibit "Barns of Bedford".
