A blank canvas, a cup of Earl Grey, jazz or opera in the background in a sun lit studio, and a stunning creation in oils emerges. This is the experience of Philip Ramsey cloistered in warm colors, coffee brewing in between the rhythmic beats in the air and careful strokes, sometimes feverishly painting. Who knows where the hours go when Philip absorbs himself in the magic of the moment – does time really exist then?

Philip Ramsey believes in the statement “You cannot paint without paint”. Most careful observers of Philip Ramsey’s oil paintings will notice the lavish application of paint and the expressive brush strokes that remind one of impressionistic painters of long ago. Whether observing his work at Little Gallery in picturesque Moneta, Virginia, or while sipping wine at Pearmund Cellars of Broad Run, Virginia or at galleries in his small home town of South Boston, Virginia, you should be able to enter the moment that began in a cozy studio nestled in rolling hills.
