These three paintings are in a show that I just hung.  The dog, and the aerial painting are 4 ft x 3 ft,  and the other one is 5 ft x 4 ft.   The photos did not come out very well.  I hope to take some pictures at the opening.  I have another show in January also, so I am busy in the studio.  …

My plein air painting of an Irish cottage at our local Frontier Culture Museum, here in Virginia, USA was the first painting/artist featured on the website, "Irish Fireside".  Plein Eire was mentioned in the short article with the painting.  I thought you all would be interested in seeing it.  The site is very nice, and they have a fun podcast series too.  Enjoy!
