How I Pack Wet Oil Paintings for Travel + Painting a Fall Landscape | Echoes of Old
Today’s video has two gentle parts to it.
First, I’m leaving the cabin and packing my newly painted landscapes for the drive home. I’m walking you through my 3-step method for safely transporting wet oil paintings in the car — a way that has saved many paintings from smudges, dents, or disasters. No fancy equipment needed, just simple tools and thoughtful handling.
Then we move into the heart of the video: a new painting from my collection Echoes of Old — stories told in color and light.
This landscape grew out of slow autumn days, walks through fields, and quiet moments observing how the air shifts when the seasons change. As the paint moves across the canvas, I share bits of home — gathering fall branches and seed pods from the garden and bringing them inside to create a cozy seasonal vignette.
The video ends with the finished painting framed and hung in my bedroom, where the late afternoon light warms its colors. I hope this feels like a soft place to land.

What I Learned from Teaching My First Painting Workshop | Capon Springs and Farms, WV
in travel, video, tips and tricks
Doing the workshop this weekend I realized the true magic happens when you interact with your students and give them feedback about how they can improve and to see the growth and the ah ha moments from them was truly gratifying.
