TAKING A FALL
by Debra Keirce
10 x 10" oil on panel
I was able to photograph a bucking horse at a photo shoot in Kansas. One of the reenactors offered to pretend to have fallen off the saddle, and posed for me in the same lighting. Another threw his hat for that added bit of realism.
At this particular photo shoot, horses getting spooked by flags, plastic bags, hats that got caught in the wind - there were six times when people fell off their horses, and one where the horse landed on a cowgirl, and another where a cowgirl managed to stay on when her horse got itself out of chest high mud at the bottom of a little pond.
Spending time on a ranch with these men and women, I don't ever take for granted how dangerous it can be when your horse isn't of the same mind as its rider. But, for the love of this lifestyle, everyone gets back into the saddle just as soon as they can.

WILD LUPINE
by Linda Hendrickson
12 x 12" acrylic on canvas
While hiking in late June, I was just in time to see the understory completely covered in a haze of lavender wild lupine blooms, sometimes interspersed with some paint brush flowers. That experience of some time seated amongst the blooms doing a quick watercolor sketch led to this painting.
Presented in a black 5/8 floater frame.

ONCE UPON A LAVENDER FIELD
by Jill Banks
18" x 24" Oil on linen-lined panel
Painted plein air in Valensole France -- on my second of three outings to the lavender fields. This field was the deepest purple with perfect rows and I found the needed spot in the shade. I had the most wonderful visitors all day long including my two young ones who happened to have gotten painted into the scene.
I always feel so lucky to paint. Multiply that gratitude by a thousand for the chance to travel, to see and capture this beauty myself, to meet and share the adventure with those there and through my art.
My New French Paintings Collection (or own Tour de France) debuted in my studio at the Artists' Atelier in Great Falls VA with 21 new pieces (including this one) from my 2024 personal painting trip to the South of France - Cote d'Azur and Provence -- plus 19 more works from previous trips throughout France.

CELESTIAL CITRUS: GOLDFINCHES AND BLUE SKY
by Tricia Cherrington Ratliff
24 x 24" oil on canvas
This painting is symbolic for me ..the lemons represent health and abundance as well as a sense of community that I hope for as they are all different lemons connected by the tree. Goldfinshes are often depicted in spiritual art .. and for me they are a sweet reminder to wake up each day with gratitude. Thank you for this day! the grey surround showing brushstrokes and chalk lines reminds me that we are enjoying the view for a moment and to appreciate it while it's here. This painting is already mounted and ready to hang on 1.5 inch deep gallery wrapped canvas.

IT'S COMPLICATED by Debra Keirce
19.5x21.5" oil on panel
"It's Complicated" is a painting about all the intricacies of falling in love. The roles we play, the decisions we suffer, the concessions we make, the protective coping strategies we develop, are all there. In every loving relationship we experience, good or bad, these complications exist. Some have stronger wings than others, but the gears are always turning, and we are always adjusting to right the course.

VINTAGE PEONIES by Vicki Vidal-Blum
24 x 20" oil on linen
These peonies came from my garden. I love the random complexity of peonies. This painting was done mostly en plein air, but it took me well into the night when the sun had set and only the lights from the kitchen window and the back patio guided me somehow through the right values and colors.

FLOWER MARKET by Jill Banks
18 x 24 " oil on linen-lined panel
"Flower Market" is of the Thursday flower market in Aix-en-Provence. I'd also painted this market before ... during my 2019 trip. I chose a different vantage point, enjoying a place by the fountain. Next trip, I'm painting the cafes that fill the plaza. When painting plein air, you look at what's in front of you, but also sense and look at what's by your side and behind. It's all interesting!

FLICKERING FIELD OF FLOWERS ON A FARM by Tricia Cherrington Ratliff
LUNCH UNDER POLLOCK MOUNTAIN II by Linda Hendrickson
48 x 24" acrylic on canvas
One of my favorite animals to meet on the trail and watch from a distance is the mountain goat. Usually they are nothing to be afraid of, but I still like to give them a wide berth! They do get hungry for salt so if you sit down, keep a close eye on your pack or they are liable to lick it or nibble on it. My sketchbook is full of quick studies of these critters.

I'M WAITING IN THE WINGS by Debra Keirce
4 x 4" oil on panel
In my heartFelt series, I am exploring aspects of love and relationship. I was in a butterfly house in Florida and thought about how the insects seem to flirt with the flowers before they find the right one, settle down, and sup. No wonder butterflies and romance are often aligned. So much of romance involves similar behavior.
Both the flower and the butterfly are beautiful and appealing. Why do they choose one flower over another? In a whole sea of women, why did my husband fly to ME? Luck? Destiny? Pheromones? Your guess is as good as mine, but I am so glad he did.

PAINTBRUSH by Linda Hendrickson
27 x 39" in white floater frame, acrylic on canvas
One of my favorite mountain flowers is paintbrush. The tips of each brush have “paint” first and as you look closer, the lower plant is green. This exuberant painting captures the joy of coming across a clump of these blooms.

SUN & SAND by Jill Banks
16 x 12 " oil on linen-lined panel
Painted at Gloucester Point during Gloucester "Heart of the River" Plein Air (Virginia). I wanted to include people and the river in the scene. Great choice, right?
The days have been hot ... so finding shade on a sandy beach led me to this one and only spot. I was happy that a non-sunbather was willing to make room for me. So, imagine me ... pretty well hidden in the grasses and under a tree ... painting this.

Meghan & Justin by Vicki Vidal Blum
12 x 16" oil on panel
I have been painting a lot of portraits lately. I was so happy to paint this commission of a good friend and colleague's children. The best part of painting is you can make things up, like the background, which I think was fitting since one lives in NYC.
