Here I will post sketches and vignettes
from my studio and from plein air painting excursions. These are smaller
original paintings and drawings done in a variety of media. Genereally
these works will be nothing larger than 5"x7". For watercolors
and other works on paper, sizes will vary. Unlike my
gallery original oil paintings, these pieces can be purchased
directly online using either the Paypal shopping cart, or in certain
cases in online auction format. More vignettes coming soon! I will offer
them first on my blog,
and then post them here as time permits. You may wish to consider subscribing
to my blog updates for the latest additions and earliest purchasing
opportunities. All of these items are shipped unframed.

This
landscape is an original painting of rolling hills of lavender
in the northern region of Provence called La Drome Provencal.
During summer one often sees these beautiful blue and lavender
fields perfectly complemented by golden shrubs of yellow broom
that grow wild in the landscape.
This is one of a series of vignettes
being auctioned to benefit the Central Virginia Foodbank.
Through the month of June, I plan to post at least one new
auction on a regular basis. To get up-to-date alerts when
new auctions are posted, please sign

to my blog (that's where I'll post them first). To

About the auctions:
I have created these auctions in order to raise money for
the Central Virginia Foodbank. According to the CVA Foodbank's
website, just $25 will provide as many as 200 meals! So, with
that in mind, opening bids for these auctioned paintings
will be set at the mega-bargain price of about 200 meals,
or $24.99 per item. 95% of the proceeds for the sale of these
vignettes will be donated to the Central Virginia Foodbank.
It's my hope that each piece will get bids and that they
will far surpass the opening bid. Winning bidders get the
original painting, plus the satisfaction of knowing that the
proceeds of their purchase are being donated to help one community's
underprivileged children, elderly and families in serious
need.
OVER 2500 meals served so far! Here are some of the
paintings that have been auctioned off in the recent past.
If you don't want to miss out on these great opportunities
to get original artwork at true bargains, pleasesign

in this charity event! I hope you will continue to check the
website and blog for new auctions!
