My husband and I spend lots of summer time in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Whenever I visit, I carry my camera just about everywhere.
I always love it when I stumble across a field of flowers....it seems like a little surprise gift. I do have to admit that this gift was probably planted by the North Carolina Highway Department or some such government organization. Still I have to appreciate the beauty of this seemingly random scene.
For years, I have resisted painting on gallery wrap canvas because of difficulty with storage and shipping. Finally, I have seen the light and am moving in that direction! I still have lots of canvas panels and studio canvas to use up, but as I replenish my supplies, I am using gallery wrap. It is so superior in look and of course, the ability to hang without a frame. The exception to this is my small 6x8" paintings which I will probably continue on canvas panel. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue!
I hope you like today's daily painting.

Beautiful. How fun to be out and about and come across flowers.
Fondly,

I love the bright red poppies and bit of sun on the grasses in the foreground in contrast to the hazy looking woods.
I paint on gallery wrapped most of the time. Love it and seems like patrons do as well. There are also some great floater frames out there that add interest if the customer likes that look.
Have fun in the beautiful mountains!!
Excellent painting and texture, Carol! love the rich greens...
