16” wide by 20” tall egg tempera on board. This painting was inspired by the trip to Italy Lori and I took in summer of 2018. The figures all come from different galleries and the painting is Botticelli’s Cestello Annunciation. This is one of two egg temperas I had accepted into the Taubman Museum's juried show "Homeward Bound" for this summer. Of course the pandemic got in the way and the show will not be held until November of 2021. The show information is here: https://www.taubmanmuseum.org/…/homeward-bound-juried-trien…

18” wide by 24” tall watercolor on 140lb Arches hot-pressed watercolor paper. I was out with some friends one day not long after graduating from Lynchburg College and they were terrifically interested in mills so we visited a few. This is my friend Chris down under the pipe bringing the water in to the mill wheel. Chris was looking for snakes. It was about 103° in the shade that day and he claimed it was 30° cooler under that pipe. I took his word for it.
