"Virginia Creeper"

48"X36"
Acrylic on Canvas
$750

This piece was done "Plein Air" and it was a bit awkward carrying it back to the swamp, I liked the crimson red fall creeper set against the green/gold grapevine leaves and the looseness of the piece.

"Apples in Green Bowl"

32"X32" Acrylic on Canvas

$750

This piece was lots of fun to do, as I had a textured canvas that I allowed my self to have free rein and play.  I went with the traditional still life on top.  This piece is square although the camera doesn't show that.  It took "best in show" at the Southampton Juried Art show in 2010.
