In 2006 I started a painting a day.
There are a few benefits to working on small daily paintings. The first is for myself as a painter. Since each painting takes less time than a large piece to complete, I feel freer to experiment and am constantly improving my skills. It also allows more art lovers to become collectors of original paintings since the prices are more affordable.
In 2011 I started a blog featuring paintings of Vineyards around the world which are based on screenshots I found on google map views.
You may purchase my paintings at both of the blogs above.

“Ria Hills, our Artist of the Month for November 2006, is a pastel painter who celebrates the quiet loveliness of the ordinary. “Some of my paintings have been inspired by a dream, a song, or sometimes a single word,” she explains. “A few months ago I started painting a 5”-x-7” work every day. These paintings are mostly inspired by small, common objects.” These works—of a cup of coffee, a baseball, a broken egg, or a marble, for instance—all speak of Hills’ fascination with light.” ~American Artist Magazine
