Hello Abingdon is an impressionist oil painting that captures an authentic British phone booth, once used in England. The red phone booth now stands along Main Street in Abingdon, Virginia, as a symbol of connection and a tribute to Abingdon's sister city, also named Abingdon, in England.
The booth was re-purposed into an informational kiosk that will help visitors find attractions, restaurants, hotels, and events in Abingdon.
Painted in a single session at sunset, this painting captures the bright red booth along sunlit grass.
Comes framed unless otherwise requested.
Painted with oil on a linen panel on October 1st, 2025.
Size: 8" x 10" framed and wired to hang.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Bethany Stahl.
Painting En Plein Air
En plein air, French for “in the open air,” is the practice of painting outdoors, directly immersed in the landscape. Each brushstroke responds to shifting light, fleeting color, and the living atmosphere, capturing a moment that can never be repeated. Popularized by the Impressionists, this method infuses every work with the immediacy and authenticity of being created in nature itself.
Capturing a Moment in Time
My plein air paintings are extremely unique as they change per the mood of the day, the energy of the air, and the spirit of the world around me.
