Summer Fun

Summer seems to be passing all too quickly but as always the beloved mountains and surrounds of North Carolina continue to provide an abundance of inspiration for my paintings. The following collection draws from our recent summer retreat.

The 'Puncheon Falls' paintings required an expedition to a remote site on private property accompanied as always by my dutiful husband who is forever concerned over my safety. I made three trips to this remote location but was aptly rewarded by each visit.

Perhaps my most favorite in this collection is the painting appropriately titled, 'Our View This Summer' as it depicts the view we were blessed with each morning. The morning sun bathing the mountains and reflected in the clouds never ceases to amaze.  I hope this painting reflects both my respect and appreciation of nature's wonder.
