This painting captures one of Richmond's favorite pastimes, kicking back at the James. The couple was thoroughly relaxed enjoying the sounds, sights and delights of the River. It was clearly a banner day -- ordinary yet extraordinary - and quintessentially Richmond day

Artist Statement: 

I am an expressionistic oil painter that loves to paint landscapes, people, interiors and animals. I use energetic brushwork to communicate my passion for my subjects with the intention of creating a two-way narrative with the viewer. The mundane is not mundane in my eyes. Rather, it is an opportunity to explore and illuminate the day-in, day-out lives we live. Richmond is our collective home. She is multi-layered, rich in spirit and full of humanity. My Richmond oil paintings aim to reflect and celebrate our connection to this small, yet magnanimous city.
