Virginia

Virginia is a pastel painter in our Wednesday night painting group. We meet every week in the Peggy McConnell Art Center in Worthington. This is a group I value for the ability to get out of the Studio and mix with other artists.

Backyard Relaxing area

We have a very quite backyard that is both quite and private. We have a large field to the East, about 7 acres I'd guess, and a good distance on the West. Across the road in Pleasant Township is a working farm. I love the country with it's clean air and only five minutes from a small shopping mall and only twenty minutes from metropolitan Columbus with all the culture and football be need.

Connie in Her Garden

This is what my wife Connie loves to do whenever she has time, work in her garden.

I painted this person after visiting Daytona Beach FL. Across the street from our hotel was a 50's era diner where we ate breakfast every morning. Good food and people.

Gary

I have known Gary for over 20 years. He cleans for my wife and I. He was my wife's custodian when she was a building principal. Gary and his wife are raising their two granddaughters. I gave this painting to Gary for his long service of work.
