Award Winning Painting

I am so excited to share the news that my painting "Eleven Steps" won First Place in the Belmont Portrayed art exhibit at Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont!  The show is wonderful and if you have not visited Belmont, check it out before the show ends on April 17.  I am so happy that my two paintings in the show have found new homes!

Belmont Portrayed

I am excited to be one of the artist selected for the Belmont Portrayed exhibit.  The show is beautiful and if you happen to be in the Fredericksburg area make sure to visit Gary Melchers Home and Studio that is featuring this art show.

Below are two photographs of my paintings that are in the exhibit!

Gari Melchers wife, Corinne, left the entire estate to Virginia.  Belmont is an exciting place to be for anyone, especially an artist.

Eleven Steps

My painting depicts the main entrance to the Melchers' house at Belmont.  I was particularly inspired by the iron work that adorns the staircase.  In 2011, that iron work was identified as one of Virginia's top 10 endangered artifacts.  I could imagine Corinne Melchers standing at the top landing waiting for her guests.  There are eleven steps to the landing.

Seek and You Will Find

This painting is a depiction of the grounds at Belmont that has a stone pathway through a wooded area where there is a Gazebo. It is very pretty there when framed in the colors of the spring and fall.
