Richard Whiteley is a landscape and townscape painter, working in oils and acrylics. He focuses on capturing the beauty of the countryside, and the small historic towns of Virginia and Maryland in the environs of the Nation's Capitol.
"Nature gives us an infinite variety of moods and contrasts, changing with the seasons, the weather and time of day from dawn to dusk. I strive to capture the contrasts in light and dark, cool and warm, in an impressionistic style, and to create pictures that people can recognize as places they may have visited or seen but presented in a more poetic light."
