COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME, 6X12, OIL
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' in the breeze
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get the feelin'
That I should have been home
Yesterday, yesterday
John Denver
One of my favorite songwriter and recording artists.
I find his music to be so moving. It evokes images and memories of my childhood.
His lyrics are as moving today and they were when he first wrote them. Don't you miss him?

Beautiful brushwork and colors. I'm ready to go there right now!!!
Grew up on country roads with John Denver on the radio- while riding down the road in the back of the pickup truck. Thanks for taking me back to that moment. This painting definitely reminds me of home. Beautiful, you always have such wonderful depth and brushwork in your paintings.
Carol, I love the rusted tin roof. Gorgeous painting!
John Denver was our background music as I went to college in the 70's. I loved him so much. It is still hard for me to listen to his music today..miss him!
The lines of the song really fits well with your wonderful painting, showing that gorgeous nature.
This is one of my favorite of your paintings. The colors and brushwork are wonderful and it evokes such powerful feelings.
