New Artwork: Ladies Golf

Did You Know June is Women’s Golf Month?

June is designated as Women’s Golf Month – a joint effort of the LPGA, PGA of America, National Golf Course Owners Association and the LPGA Amateur Golf Association.

Coincidentally, I recently finished some work featuring women golfers as the subject matter.

Wintry Garrett County

You may have noticed that I like to paint winter scenes if you’ve followed my work. I get questions about why I do this; one reason is that I find the scenes more interesting to paint than during the greener seasons. 

Garrett County Winter Scenes

Tis the season, so we put together this viewing gallery of Garrett County scenes in winter. Check back periodically as I’ll be adding more.
