It's always fun to go to The Devon Horse Show and see all the ladies in their fancy hats. While I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those, I admire their creativity in dressing for the occasion!

This fun little portrait is available through my website- collections- "Little Gems". Just click here to purchase.

Thanks for checking out my blog. Come back again.

 "Autumn's Glory", 22x28, oil on wrapped linen canvas

Autumn is my favorite time of year. It's the time for Mother Nature to show off one more time, before the winter months strip the landscape bare of color and hope. It's a time for her to demonstrate her resilience even in the midst of deterioration and loss.

This is a scene along French Creek which I used to frequent often back in the days of living in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. I have painted this same scene numerous times and never grow tired of it!

 "Poolside Arrangement", 9x12, oil on panel

Years ago I painted a larger version of this scene for a gallery and it sold right away. I decided to do a smaller version of the same scene, because it is so very pretty! I set up the fruit basket and bouquet of roses on a table right next to our pool one day. I loved the contrast of vivid colors and the shadow design that the basket made in the sun. The painting began outdoors and I finished it inside because I wanted to preserve the shadow pattern.

This sweet little painting would make a lovely gift that brings sunshine into a home every day of the year!

It is being sold for $300.00 through my website. Click here to purchase.
