Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel

One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.

 You would have to live a summer or two in Florida, to understand how much I enjoy walking in mid 70's temps in the middle of summer.

 Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees.  It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.




Here's hoping you have a wonderful day.

Plein Air Landscape, 6x8, Oil SOLD

I don't often paint out of the studio, but recently I spent a week in North Carolina with my paint group, Pieces of Eight.  We didn't paint as much as we usually do on our retreats, but we did get a few days in.

Purchase here
SOLD


We went to a beautiful location, Grandfather Vineyard, near Boone, and painted on the grounds.  Tables and chairs we set up on the bank of the stream and customers would bring their bottles of wine and glasses and enjoy an hour or two.



It was a beautiful, sunny fall day and we enjoyed our painting session.  When we had put our brushes away, we purchased a few bottles of wine and enjoyed a lively art discussion in this wonderful location.  I took lots of photos and have several from Grandfather Vineyards that I plan to paint soon.

Daily Painting "See Rock City",9x12" Barn Painting with Palette Knife, SOLD

If you are of a certain age and traveled the south before the days of interstate highways, you are probably familiar with this sight.


Purchase here
SOLD

At the time, the barns peppered the countryside, but these days they are few and far between.  If you are lucky enough to spot one, it is likely in disrepair and showing it's age.  This one is located in Bryson City, North Carolina in the Smoky Mountains.


Blogger has been misbehaving for me lately.  When I try to post more than one image, it insists on posting the second image at the top of the post.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I will try to out think them on my next post and see if I can get the second image in.

There is also a problem with subscription services.  At the moment, the feed is not working properly.  I have no idea whether or not subscribers are receiving the daily posts.  Hopefully, this will soon be solved too.

Have a great day!
