The beginning of Autumn on the James--the trees still have green leaves but are just beginning to turn colors and the sunsets are amazing.

Artist's Statement:

I live in Richmond, VA. My work has evolved through the years, from realistic still life and florals to my current abstracted landscapes.  I discovered Cold Wax Medium a few years ago, and it has transformed my painting practice.  These landscapes show my interest in color and mark making.  I use imagery from photos I have taken of places I love and have visited in my past, but I also draw on imagination to create works that reflect the beauty I see in our natural world.  Because of the warm colors of the foliage and the bright blues to indigos and grays of the sky, Fall is an amazing season to paint.  The season seems to begin later than it used to but is no less beautiful and inspirational.
