All of this fun was interrupted by a different kind of pleasure--the arrival of four kids who needed to be raised and sent to college. My mother inspired my return to art as she modeled happily taking up art again after a long child-rearing break.I wanted the same great life!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy paintings are based on my experiences in nature. I like being out in nature taking photos of birds, trees, flowers, and landscape scenes that inspire me. I use my photos as rough references for my studio paintings. I have won awards for my paintings in For Art’s Sake, James River Art League, and Rappahannock Art League judged shows and have shown my paintings in multiple exhibit locations around the Richmond area and beyond. I have learned from Adele Costillo, Christaphora Robeers, Robin Caspari, Anne Chaddock, Doug Mock, Curney Nuffer, and other local artists. I thank all of my instructors and fellow artists for showing me this wonderful life of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"November AMS Exhibition 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67780421222702,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Baron_Carol_GoldenDaysattheCreek_Oil_590_1.jpg?v=1792545937","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/baron-carol-title-golden-days-at-the-creek","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
