Virginia Series

In the basement studio, McLean, Virginia 1985

The Virginia Series of paintings began after moving from California to Loudoun County, Virginia in 1975, living in Leesburg and Waterford until 1977. Later, a return to Virginia's Howardsville, in Albemarle County from 1979 to 1981 resulted in more drawings and paintings. Brief periods in McLean, Purcellville, and Reston in 1984/85, 1987, and 1989 saw further development of this series of landscapes. The most recent addition is from Louisville, 2004 with The Blue Ridge Mountains near Culpeper from a 1985 drawing.
