"Traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway"

This is something every Virginian does -- usually over and over again! A beautiful, peaceful
place -- both on foot or in a vehicle.

"Cascading" - Waterfall in South West Virginia

"Cascading"
16" x 20"
Oil on Canvas

This waterfall is located West of Blacksburg, VA deep in the mountains. Of course, it's a vigorous hike up to it, but well worth the effort! The electricity in the air from the rushing of the water, felt even before you reach the falls, is euphoric --everyone radiating huge smiles of happiness...

My Last Limited Pallette Painting

"Lake Monticello Beach"
9" x 12"
Oil on Canvas

For my final painting in this months ProDJ Program with Kevin M., I've chosen to use the limited pallette of Cadmium Yellow Light, Quinacridone Red, Dioxazine Purple, and Titanium White. I had a difficult time getting over not having a true blue to paint the sky and water reflections with, but when looking at the final result, I like the way it both looks and feels.

It's been interesting being so limited to the colors I could use, frustrating at times too, but then being pleased each time with the way the final paintings turned out. I'm guessing that's why Kevin is the "Master" artist--he knew these particular color combinations would bring about pleasing finished paintings!

"Approaching the Cascades" 18" x 24" Oil on Canvas

"Approaching the Cascades"
18" x 24"
Oil on Canvas

This is my finished painting using the "limited" pallette of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and Ultramarine Blue, plus Titanium White. It was more of a challenge than I expected since I really wanted to put in the bright, vivid colors of the fall landscape. This was impossible because of the Yellow Ochre--it muted every mixture I tried.

Even so, the trip up to the waterfall is gorgeous any time of the year--this is a reminder of just a piece of the vigorous hike up!
