I am so pleased to announce that I had paintings juried into both of these shows!

Art at the Mill Fall 2021

Art at the Mill in Millwood, VA, opens this weekend! One of the premier juried art shows of Piedmont Virginia will once again present its regional show in both in-person and online components.

I am proud to announce that I had seven paintings juried into the show. My pieces are varied in size, price and subject. This Fall I submitted local Virginia scenes, plus two of Ireland, one of Paris and one floral still life. Four of my pieces are pictured in this letter. All seven are pictured on my website in a special section.

Autumn in a Vase

"Soul Mates" is one of my favorites. Swans mate for life and these beautiful creatures were part of the Irish landscape I encountered three years ago this week! Ireland...pure magic.

A portion of sales (35%) benefits the nonprofit Clarke County Historical Association and its Burwell-Morgan Mill.

The Unexpected Garden

For the first time, I will have two paintings in one of the Artists in Middleburg (AIM) shows. This month's show entitled "Landscapes of Near and Distant Lands" is a perfect theme for my paintings from my travels abroad. Both "The Unexpected Garden" and "Illumination" (shown below) will be on display at the gallery at 102 W. Washington St., Middleburg,VA. Gallery hours are 12 pm - 5 pm from Wednesday through Sunday.

October 9 - November 7

A FEW WORDS ON WINE...as promised....

Sauvignon Blanc by any other name is...Pouiily-Fume, Fume Blanc, Sancerre....I confess that the sauvignon blancs from the Loire Valley, especially Sancerre, are my favorites of this lovely wine. Its mineral and citrus notes pair well with the food of the region, such as chèvre (goat cheese), and light fare, such as chicken, salads and fish. Mediterranean foods go well with this acidic wine and it's a great (chilled) summer wine.

I find sauvignon blancs to be plentiful and reasonably priced, although Sancerre can push the wallet. Suggestion! I just tried Barboursville's Sauvignon Blanc - produced and bottled right here in Virginia at one of my favorite wineries. It was very flavorful with rich flavors on my palette and reasonably priced at around $13. I found it at the VA ABC Store, believe it or not, but I would always recommend the trip down Route 15 to the winery near Orange, VA. (Bargain choice for Sauvignon Blanc: Costco's Kirkland brand). This is all my opinion, of course, and based on my palette.

Montage Wine Glass to the World

Next month I will have my new "Hope Rises, Peace Descends" collection to share with you! Hint: I am already uploading the pieces to my website in its new collection. I am very happy with this year's goals and efforts. I want you to feel the magic of sunrise and peace of sunset - or moonrise. I have poured my heart into this collection. Enjoy!

Have a colorful Fall!

With artist tools, I paint inspiring places. With words, I tell my story. With travel,

I find joy. Always creating my life, as I reach for the light.
