Moored in the Cove

5" x 7", oil on canvas

"Storm Approaching", 5 x 7, oil on canvas - This is becoming a familiar sight here in Nashville. We've had one bad weather system after another, which can be very dramtic scenes to capture. This was painted from the pedestrian bridge over the Cumberland River, and these small works will be in Nashville Gallery through the end of Januray. www.nashvillegallery.net

Reflections in the Mist

5" x 7", Oil on canvas - Feeling nostalgic I painted this small piece from an inspiring trip to Nova Scotia a while back. It seems like I find scenes to paint that relfect the weather we are having here when I can't get outside to paint.

Autumn Sunlight

7" x 5", Oil on Canvas - This is another little gem for the upcoming "Small Works Show" at Nashville Gallery, opening on December 5, running through the end of January. These two little cottages are some of the oldest structures still standing from the Civil War located on the Glen Leven Estate in Nashville. This is from an absolutely beautiful, crisp fall day in full afternoon sun. For more information on this gallery visit: http://www.nashvillegallery.net/

City's Silhouette

5 x 7, gallery wrapped, SOLD

On my way home from East Nashville the other day I saw this view on a gorgeous fall day and new I wanted to paint it. This is over the Cumberland River and this little gem will be going to the "Small Works Show" at Nashville Gallery in December.

Sliver of Light

7" x5", Gallery Wrap

I love the pattern the sun makes on the buildings in Italy and I'm always inspired to capture it. This little gem will be going to Ruthie Cherry Fine Art in time for the "Holiday Open House" on Saturday, November 14. http://www.rcfineart@bellsouth.net/

"Little Gems for the Holidays"

Golden Haybales

Sunny Cottages

Today I started a series of small paintings for the holidays. These are 5" x 7" oils on gallery wrapped canvases in a shadow box frame, from local scenes in Tennessee, and are the perfect size for gifts.

Morning Light, at Glen Leven

Cool, crisp air and dappled morning light gave these little cottages behind the Glen Leven Estate their charm. This property is one of the oldest standing buildings left in tack from the civil war located at 4000 Franklin Road, less than a mile from Thompson Lane.

This painting will be on display in the upcoming Chestnut Group fundraiser called "Once in a Blue Moon9" held at Glen Leven to benefit The Land Trust for TN, October 24, 6:30 pm.

"Sun Drenched Haystacks"

9 x 12, oil on canvas, SOLD

Once every spring and fall the farms in Tennessee cut fresh bales of hay that dapple the hillside with great patterns of light and shadow. This piece is hot off the easel after a day of painting on location with some nutty friends at a gorgeous farm outside of Franklin.

"Juicy Fruit"

8 x 10

This fresh new still life, along with more of my works, will be available at
