This beautiful work is titled “Australian Gum Trees, Bathurst” and was painted by Australian landscape artist Graham Gercken. It ties in with the audiobook I just finished called “Thornwood House” (reviewed below).

This is “Coffee Cup & Spoon” (2006) by James Neil Hollingsworth, a contemporary realist whose paintings are absolutely amazing.
This beautiful painting has been a favorite of mine for many years. Its title is “Lady with a Lute” and it was created by American tonalist Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851-1938). I first saw this lovely piece at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s, and immediately bought a print and had it framed. Although the print cannot convey the charm of the original, I can be reminded each time I glance at it.
“As Evening Falls” by Anders Andersen-Lundby
So evocative of winter’s cold and early darkness, I love this painting for the atmosphere. The slush on the road, the coating of wet snow on the trees, and clomp of the horse’s hooves with the trickle of water in the stream.
This lovely oil painting by Jessica Garrett is called “Aglow” and is available at NanEtte Richardson Fine Art gallery in San Antonio.

This is “Maya” by Dean Russo. His work is so distinctive, and I love his animal series.
