 Duvall, Peggy-Poppies ReedsFraming and patterns are tools I use in painting to provide a room in which to study a plant with my paint. I believe this is a method I have developed through both my design work and my gardening habits. Poppy and Reeds Watercolor, Ink, Pencil & Acrylic on Cotton 10 x 10 $285 Peggy Duvall |  Duvall, Peggy-Prairie BloomI am fascinated by the phases of a bloom and the endless information gathered up-close. My interest is to delve into the paint and FEEL as I do when studying a bloom. Reproduction is futile and unimportant to me.

Prairie Bloom Watercolor on Cotton 11 x 11 $485 Peggy Duvall |  Ellis, Luke-CowWhile painting I think about the past sometimes. Having been raised on a farm with cows and sheep I often want to paint them, I start painting and these things appear on the canvas. I saw the yellow cow and could not keep my eyes off it.

 FlynnMara-IntotheLightAcrylicEveryone knows the sky is basically blue and most grass is green. But what we see on any given day depends on so many other elements, such as wind, rain, heat, smog, flora, etc. With this landscape piece, I wanted to highlight the endless array of colors present in the natural world if we look closely enough.

 Hopkins, Laura-Autumn Gorve VIIIThis piece is one of a series of autumn themed paintings in which I experimented with non-traditional tools for applying paint.

I love to experiment with new techniques. Autumn Grove VIII Oil on Panel 6 x 8 $350 Laura Hopkins |  Hopkins, Laura-Landscape at EveningAs a painter in the American Tonalist tradition, I try in my work to suggest the feeling or mood of a place.

Fantasy Forest Acrylic 12 x 24 $450 Sharon West |  Whittle, Patricia-RosesA piece that began with drops of acrylic inks suspended in water manipulated and swirled then left to dry into an amorphous background of colorful shapes. As I studied this background hints of an image came to me and through negative painting, glazes and eventually dipping pen embellishments, the final painting was realized. I find this one of the most exciting ways to create a painting. Roses Oil 8 x 8 $180 Patricia Whittle |
 Whittle, Patricia-The ArtistThis painting is my attempt to depict the smallness of man when confronted with the vastness of nature. In addition, this image can also serve as a metaphor regarding the artists relationship to the world. Painted outdoors at a plein-air event with the Loudoun Sketch Club.
