Hi! I’m an oil painter living in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  I paint mostly landscapes, but have recently rediscovered charcoal, in portraits and still life.  For  years I dabbled with painting and drawing. Now in my late sixties, it’s a dream fulfilled to jump in full time or, at least, more regularly.  And why not share my journey?  So here goes.  Hopefully, by 70, I’ll be somewhat good at this.  I plan to keep going till I can’t hold a paintbrush or see the canvas….and, then I become a trashy romance novelist.
