Visions of Valentia - scenes of Ireland
View
this Collection
In June of 2006 I was able to take the trip of a lifetime and go on an artists' retreat. Several of my Virginia artist friends joined up to go visit Valentia Island. It forever changed our lives..... Now, I've made several trips back, 4 in summer and once in late winter. The rugged beauty of this place has inspired a turning point in my work.

"The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses."
- Hanna Rion
Whether it's my own small garden or a large public garden park, I am always grateful have these places in my life.

Small Treasures
View
this Collection
These 'little treasures' are small works done plein air or alla prima (outdoors or all at one time). They are part of my daily painting routine (see www.dailypainters.com). They are usually small studies done for a larger painting, or reference material for future use. These are usually sold unframed.
