Prep for Art on the Lawn - THIS WEEKEND!

Art on the Lawn is this weekend! Saturday, September 24, 2011, 10-4pm on the lawn of the Giles Co. Courthouse, Pearisburg! Come out to see my newest, and very different works. Most everything will be smaller in scale, and this summer I've been studying the use of the palette knife, trying out skills gathered during my stay at Nimrod Hall. All works are framed and all under $150.

Irene's Approach 8 x 10 oil on panel $135.00

Summer on The New 8 x 10 oil on panel $135.00

On the Ice, Niles Pond (Gloucester MA) 8 x 16 $200.00

Nimrod #5, Open Field 8 x 10 oil on panel $135.00

Study, Bean Tree 8 x 8 oil on canvas $125

Rocks Cluster, Jasper Hill 8 X 10 oil on panel $135.00

Sundown over Poor Farm 9 X 12 oil on panel $145.00

Summer Dunes, Crane Beach 18 X 24 oil on canvas $295.00 My only large, new piece for the show is of the sand dunes at beautiful Crane Beach, located in Ipswich, MA. I took inspiration from the undulating sandy dunes, and unique plant life growing on this expansive beach on the North Shore. I tried to keep things loose, incorporating new skills. It is framed in a simple, white wash driftwood frame with a linen liner. If you cannot make it out to Giles, I would be happy to ship anywhere. Stay tuned for more specifics from a recent trip to Gloucester and Essex, MA, where I completed small oil sketches of Brace Cove, Good Harbor Beach, Bass Rocks, and Halibut Point State park! joli
