Hi everyone!  I thought you might like to see some of what I call, miniature jewel paintings.  They are small, 5×5″ paintings, mounted in thick, 4+” frames.  They are all oil paintings.  I have been working on a foxhunting series for both a gallery in Charlottesville, as well as for the Montpelier Hunt Races.  The races are today, in Montpelier, VA, at James Madison’s home.  A beautiful place, and today is a gorgeous fall day.  Unfortunately I was not able to go, as my neck has been creating problems for me.  But the paintings went, so we’ll see which ones come home!  The hound painting is titled “Listening to the Master” (as in Master of Foxhounds).  The gray horse with the hounds around him is titled “Going Out”, The abstract one, is “Discussion”, the horse jumping is “Over”, and the last on is “Waiting”.I will be taking photos of the paintings from my plein air class soon.  It was also suggested that I photograph some as I am working on them, to see the progress.  I will do that also.  Have a wonderful fall day, whereever you are!
