THE DECK, II, 5X7, OIL

A few weeks ago I did a post of the backyard view of our home in western North Carolina.  This is another one, featuring our deck on the back of the house.  I just love spending time there.  It is the perfect place to enjoy a good book, cool and shady with the hummers flitting around and dogwood blossoms in the air.

We have a 3 bedroom, bath and 1/2 just outside Smoky Mountain National Park. As much as we love it, we need a bigger home for our growing family.  So we have listed our home for sale.  If anyone is interested please contact me and I will send information and photos.  It's really a little slice of heaven.

Another sweet painting. I love clicking on the image to get a closer view of the juicy layers of paint and bold strokes that come together to make the painting sing.

Ahhh...so tranquil and such lovely cool colors. I can't decide if I am sitting in this comfy chair having coffee with my morning magazine, or wine with an afternoon magazine. Looks like a lovely place. Will you move to a location close by?
And yes, I think French is very in. You can notice it in the tv commercials as well.

Hi Carol, loving the adirondack chair, the looseness and colors of this piece. I have to agree with Caherine on the French thing, but then I'm a bit of a Francophile myself. When you have time, check out French Word a Day blog. I think you'd like it. Au revoir for now.

Great brushwork in the background greenery and flowers.

Nice depth in the painting. Very serene and calming.
