8" x 10" oil on canvas panel
This was my first attempt at plein air painting in oil. In 2005, Loryn Brazier, a Richmond portrait painter and owner of the Brazier Gallery, convinced me to take a plein air workshop, held over three days during Labor Day weekend in 2005. We had several terrific instructors, and my first morning class was with Roger Dale Brown from Tennessee. We were at Tuckahoe Plantation, the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson. Following a one-hour demonstration by Roger, we set up our gear in a cow pasture (complete with cows and a very protective bull) and went at it. This small shed was at the far end of the pasture. For my first effort, I felt it wasn't too bad.

Much better than many would do on their first attempt! Great job! You are very talented. :)
