In Richmond, we are close to both the mountains and the sea. So we are neither, nor, so to speak. We have plenty of city-scapes. lots of parks, rolling hills and even flat areas (fortunate for the airport.) But here we are, in our in-between state--in between the mountains and the sea with neither in sight.

This week Penny Ritch brought her paintings into the gallery and with them she brought the ocean--not the seascapes you might imagine but rather the minutia of waves and even sediment in abstract form.

Take a look at these six paintings priced from $50 to $200, masterfully done and available online. We deliver!

It is November in Richmond, Virginia. As the fall sets in and and warm days turn crisp, thick leaves shuffle and crunch under my shoes, and the hint of chimney smoke faintly creeps in,

I notice the beauty of the sun glowing behind and lighting up the bright yellow leaves of an one-hundred year-old tree.  It is the little things that compile to make one feel a specific place and a specific moment in time-- it's a smell, a whisper..

​These are the things that can't be fully described, they have to be felt.  When an artist captures a mood, a place, a feeling through color, rhythm, energy....we can be transported.  An adventure awaits!
