We lived in Asheville for three years, and there was nothing I enjoyed more that sitting on my deck and enjoying the view.
Asheville is surrounded by the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I am unsure which range is seen here.
The mountains change from day to day and minute to minute as the earth rotates. The color of the season and the light or shadows put on a constantly changing view.
This 9x12" painting is worked with a palette knife and has a textured finish.

We lived in Asheville for a few years, and I never tired of the changing landscapes. Of course they are famous for autumn trees, but day by day and hour by hour, the view of mountains change.
I painted with a palette knife and tried to keep it uncluttered and maybe just a touch abstract.

This is one of the many, small, white, churches, found in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They all have their own charm, and I love driving around in search of them.

It looks like summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As our lives change from day to day, Mother Nature is telling us,that all will someday be well. The earth is surviving very well without us, thank you, and it is up to us humans to change our routines as life will go on, with or without us.

| 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!
I feel like I was able to capture the feel of the day......I hope it made you smile!

| purchase here One of my favorite ways to start the day, is sipping my coffee on the deck, while the morning mist burns off. It is so peaceful....as if I am alone in the world. Sounds are muted and I feel protected. The Cherokee named it Nantahala, which means "land of the mid day sun". Enjoy your day! Carol Schiff www.CarolSchiffStudio.blogger.com |
