landscapes!

Working on a couple of landscape paintings, preparing for an exhibit in December. I never considered myself a landscape painter, but it seems the Virginia countryside has a convert. Here are two photos taken this morning that may help explain my new passion (although the old passions of gardenscapes/florals and portraits are still alive & well.)

At this moment, I look out the window and see purple and pink clouds in an icy blue sky. .. off to paint!
