Mountain Stream Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x10x1.5" Oil on Canvas
If you have been in the Smoky Mts. or the Blue Ridge Mts., you will probably recognize this scene. A mountain stream, meandering through trees covered in fall foliage.

A year Later: Mountains VS Beach
It has been a year since we moved to Asheville, and we are loving our new community. I came across this post from last year, and thought you might enjoy it again.
We have just left the beaches of Florida and moved to the mountains of western North Carolina. This is a preview of what our surroundings will look like in a few weeks...no blooms yet!
Everyone loves a touch of spring this time of the year....enjoy!
One afternoon I grabbed my camera and ran outside to capture the beautiful spring day and this is what I found.
I inherited a garden in front of our new home, and everything was coming alive at once...
Fiddleheads were popping up
Dogwood was blooming everywhere I
looked in both pink.....
and white blossoms. Tulips, lilac and azalea were everywhere and the days were filled with the music of songbirds.
A drive to WaterRock Knob, off the Blue Ridge Parkway, showed less color at the higher elevation, but still beautiful to see.
For an Ohio girl, who has spent most of the last 50 years in Florida, it seemed all my memories of spring were spread out before my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I truly love living in Florida, but when spring or fall calls, I head to the mountains.
Stay tuned, to see these images interpreted in oil.

Daily Painting, Landscape, "Field of Poppies",SOLD 6x8, oil
It's always a beautiful sight to come upon a field of poppies in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I had to pull out my palette knife and lots of creamy oils for this little piece. Some days I just want to push around a lot of paint.
What are you painting in your studio today?

Mountain, Landscape, Oil Painting, "The Blue Ridge" 18x24"
The past few years, I have been painting my little daily paintings, but lately, I have felt the need to go larger, and deeper.
This is a view of Water Rock Knob, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, one of my favorite places in this world.
I painted the background and much of the foreground with a palette knife.
I tried to stay loose with my brushwork too.
Life is good in the mountains!

Landscape Daily Painting "Mountain Wildflowers", 6x8" SOLD
Happy Monday to you!
It's always nice to wake up to something cheerful, especially on a Monday, so I hope this little daily painting fills the bill for you.
Not my usual painting of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this one is from those grown up mountains in the northwest. You know those real mountains, those rugged mountains, those manly mountains!
It seems to me that everything is more rugged in the west whether we are talking mountains, oceans, bears, seagulls, trees etc. Everything seems tougher and bigger and maybe a little scarier!
We are a little more beaten down, or should I say, gentler on the east coast. One thing that does not change, is the beauty of our country, no matter where you are!
Make this a great week!
