My wine painting collection is finally here! I’ve had a lot of fun painting with coffee and I wanted to try painting with wine as well.

This collection of six wine themed paintings are all painted using wine from local winery Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane, VA. Each painting is available as prints and greeting cards.

I’ve had a lot of requests for Christian themed coffee paintings. After a lot of brainstorming and work, they’re finally ready. Each of these was painted using actual coffee from Haymarket Coffee Company.

These are all available as prints (8” by 10” and 5” by 7”) and greeting cards. I print and package all of my prints and greeting cards myself. For my prints, I use archival quality paper with pigment based inks. The paper has a baryta coating that gives the print a nice luster finish. My greeting cards are printed on 60lb premium matte archival quality paper with pigment based ink and come with a matching envelopes.

Some of my cat paintings are now available as patterns at Spoonflower. You can see the available designs in my Spoonflower store and in this post. Each of these patterns can be ordered on fabrics, wallpaper, or home decor at Spoonflower.

I now have a few of my flower watercolor paintings available as patterns at Spoonflower. You can see the available designs in my Spoonflower store and in this post. Each of these patterns can be ordered on fabrics, wallpaper, or home decor at Spoonflower.

The Haymarket Museum is right in the heart of Haymarket, Virginia. Built in 1883, the building has gone through a few different uses before becoming the museum. As one of the iconic buildings of Haymarket, I knew I wanted to paint it for my series of local landmarks and landscapes.

For my paintings of local landmarks and landscapes, I wanted to focus on some of the prominent landmarks in Haymarket, Virginia. One of these is the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. This building was built in 1801 as a district courthouse and went through a few different hands before being given to the Episcopal Church in 1830.

Continuing my series of paintings of local landmarks and landscapes, I choose to do a few paintings of the White House. Like the United States Capitol, the White House is not super local to me, but is fairly close as I am in Northern Virginia. Like the United States Capitol, the White House is an instantly recognizable building and is fun to paint.

I enjoy the calm and quiet beauty of nature at the Manassas National Battlefield Park as well as the solemn reminders of the historical events that occurred there. I also love the views of Bull Run Mountain from the park. These things inspired me to paint a few landscapes of the park.

As part of a series of paintings I’ve been working on of local landscapes, I decided to do a few paintings of the United States Capitol. The Capitol is not super local to me, but it’s not far away since I live in Northern Virginia. And the building is iconic and beautiful so it’s great for painting.

The Bull Run Mountain range runs for about 15 miles from Aldie in Loudoun County to New Baltimore in Fauquier County. In Haymarket, the mountain is home to both the Bull Run Mountain Conservancy and many neighbors in the Bull Run Mountain Estates.

Living in the area, I get to see the mountains daily and I enjoyed using them as a subject of the landscape paintings you see in this post.

I share the story of how I started painting with coffee and how these coffee phrase paintings and prints came about. I also explain what it’s like painting with coffee, compared to watercolor.
