Wallace, Ann-Winter's HereHonorable Mention Winter’s Here Pastel 11 x 14 $500 Ann Wallace | Weaver, Ramona-The Sea Loves The ShoreHonorable Mention The interconnection of opposite forces is a powerful aphrodisiac - warm and cool, light and dark, sparkling and quiet, rising and falling. Without the other, neither would be what they are. That's why the Sea Loves the Shore, and the shore loves the sea. The Sea Loves the Shore Alcohol inks on canvas 34 x 36 $850 Ramona Weaver | Arthru, Suzanne Lago-DahliasCopperpotAndButterfly_SMThis painting reminds me of the luminous copper themed still lifes of William Merit Chase, one of my favorite 19th C painters. The Dahlias are from my garden. I loved expressing their form with temperature shifts and lively mark making. The butterfly, a “clouded sulphur” was found on my daily walks and completes the composition positioned just slightly off the center of interest. Dahlias, Copper Pot and Butter Fly Oil on Arches Oil Paper mounted on panel 5 x 7 $350 Suzanne Lago Arthur |
Arthur, Suzanne, Lago-BrightestFlowerOfEarlySpringI named this painting after the poem by Reena Choudhary entitled “A Scent of a Daffodil”. Daffodils, and their little siblings Jonquils, rank among my favorite flowers. Their cheerful appearance fills my heart with hope every year. They are literal trumpeters announcing the arrival of Spring. How perfect then that even the shape of the daffodil is like little golden trumpets? Brightest Flower of Early Spring Oil on Arches Oil Paper mounted on panel 5 x 7 $350 Suzanne Lago Arthur | Baker Michelle Blue ValleyI love the many faces of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Much of my work is done using blue ink. This small piece is one of my favorites because it is so simple. Blue Valley Mixed media 12 x 16 $275 Michelle Baker | Baker Michelle Roy's PlaceRoy's Place is a part of my series called Cityscapes. An accident was the inspiration for the series which includes some 20 works. The style is rather unusual in that the side of a printer ink cartridge is used to "build" my buildings. Then, I go back in with a light wash in places. Roy’s Place Ink 16 x 12 $350 Michelle Baker |

Winter Wakeneth Acrylic 16 x 20 $300 Diane Dennis |
FiorellaMaria_AlfredSisleyStudyI have long admired Alfred Sisley for his Impressionist but also Realistic style. In an effort to learn from a master, I decided to copy his painting in a smaller scale. The original painting "First Snow at Veneux-Nadon" belongs to our National Gallery of Art (nga.gov) and according to the website: "This image is in the public domain. You can copy, modify and distribute this image, even for commercial purposes." Alfred Sisley Study Oil 11 x 14 $210 Maria Fiorella | FiorellaMaria_CardinalintheGardenA cardinal painted from life.

Florer Sarah Summer on Bull Run Mountain WatercolorIn the Summer, Bull Run Mountain is full of green. The leaves on the trees are so thick that you almost forget you have neighbors.

Summer on Bull Run Mountain Watercolor 8 x 10 $250 Sarah Florer | Florer Sarah Fall on Bull Run Mountain WatercolorFall may be the most beautiful time on Bull Run Mountain.

The weather cools down, the days get shorter, the shadows get a little longer, and everything starts to get a little quieterIn this painting, I tried to capture the beauty of the mountain in the fall. Fall on Bull Run Mountain Watercolor 8 x 10 $250 Sarah Florer | Florer Sarah Winter on Bull Run Mountain WatercolorWhen winter comes to Bull Run Mountain, everything turns to shades of brown.

Heenan, Michael-FarmGateTrailSubjects that draw the viewer into the piece, making the viewer want to be there is my passion.

I always think of September as a month filled with shimmering golden afternoons. My goal for this piece was to capture that feeling.

September Trees Oil 8 x 10 $350 Laura Hopkins | Hopkins, Laura-Twilight, OctoberAs I painted this scene from my imagination, I tried to capture the bittersweet melancholy of a still and and crisp autumn twilight.

It is my hope that viewers of my work find a place of rest and comfort. Twilight October Oil 12 x 16 $650 Laura Hopkins |
