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.

WATERROCK KNOB, BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY, 5X7, OIL, SOLD

Waterrock Knob, Blue Ridge Mountains, elevation 5820 feet. WOW! It was a hot August day when I drove here with my buddies, Pieces of 8 for a day of painting. When we opened the car door, the wind swept in. It must have been in the low 50's and there I was in my sandels and capri pants. My little Florida toes curled up and turned blue! I was not exactly dressed properly. We had a great picnic lunch and painted for hours. All the heat coming off the brush saved me from freezing. Check out Pieces of 8 for photos of our week long retreat.

THE SMOKIES, 18X24, OIL


This is a studio painting of the Smokies, a vista in the park as you are driving from Cherokee, over the mountains to Gatlinburg, TN. I posted a small study of this a week or so ago. My husband has confiscated this for our mountain home. He is a type A personality and loves it, I am a type C personality and wish it were not so tight!
