The vase first executed sans floral elements, is a symbol of the "cup" or "vessel" permeated with the purifying essence of the Violet Ray. The lilac, hydrangea, and rose symbolize purity and perfection.
Beautiful double delight roses are the featured performers in this classical motif.
Perched atop the urn, the cherubs hover over carefully placed pears and grapes that none shall disturb...so the story goes...
Leafless but beautiful autumn at Georgia Farm.
Executed in our township park just east of here - we find Skip and Elizabeth on an early morning stroll walking their chows among beautiful buttonwood sycamores.
This beautiful view off Route 23, facing south, encompasses Maurice Stephens’ House on left - peaking from behind foliage with its Springhouse and magnificent sycamore on full display.
This beautiful old bridge with its weathered and worn wooden gate, invites us to walk through to a graceful shimmering hillside. Located near the Library at Winterthur, it is a little treasure.

Executed in western central Connecticut near Farmington. These symbols of Nature’s forces exude power and grace in perfect balance. Here we can appreciate a harmony of light, color & form through graceful birches, meandering stream, and accent of falling waters.
Traines, known for his lush still-lifes, provides a tranquil composition of a beautifully rendered still life of a white lisianther in a vase. Monogrammed lower left with a gold gilded frame.
When presented for the idea for this show the 3 artists quickly agreed to work together on a single Chester County motif. It seemed only right to choose the view of Valley Creek from the north end of Connor Road, a view many other local artists have found worthy of attention. Our artists agreed to meet at the spot on a Monday morning. The “Nature” of the area was...
