An Autumn Drive Up the Blue Ridge Parkway

Today's post is not about art....well not about my art.  It is the art of Mother Nature.  I want to show you some of the sights in the mountains this time of year.

 Who can resist these colors?

The Methodist Curch in Waynesville has the best pumpkin patch every year.

 Beauty is everywhere.

Even tiny little trees catch your eye.

We enter Smoky Mt Natl Park.

Now were are on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

As we climb in elevation, the show gets more intense.

Ohhhs and  ahwws  in every direction.

It is a photographer's delight.

My husband and I.

The show that never ends!

Back in Waynesville, the show is equally stunning!

Nature at it's best.  I much prefer this to the other show of nature we saw a few weeks ago....Hurricane Matthew!

I hope you enjoyed this little trip.

Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Life is good in North Carolina, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Blue Ridge Highway, 6x8" Oil,

Last fall, we took a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was a crisp, sunny day and my camera was busy clicking away.

Purchase a Giclee Print here



It's hard to go wrong with a blue and yellow painting.....it just shouts "Cheerful".  The background was painted  with a brush, but I used a palette knife on the flowers and grasses.  That's when it started to be really fun!

WATERROCK KNOB, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

Waterrock Knob offers stunning mountain views from the Blue Ridge Parkway, where it meanders into Smokey Mountain National Park.

Purchase here
SOLD

WATERROCK KNOB FALL VISTA, 6X8, OIL, ABSTRACT, SOLD

Another fall view of Waterock Knob off the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is the time to be there with the trees in full color everywhere. If you have never seen full fall color, take time out of your life and make it happen. It is worth the effort! Here is Florida, what passes for "fall color" is a joke. It is such soft color and so little of it that you hardly notice it. After 30 years in Florida, I miss the Ohio autumns of my youth.

Purchase here.
SOLD

WATERROCK KNOB, 5X7, SOLD

Unlike yesterday's post, this one was painted directly from a photo reference. The mountains and tree were in the photo. Not the ground cover or the colors. This is a view from the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

Purchase here.
