Lift Up Your Eyes
All of these are plein air paintings. My dear friend and fellow artist, lives far away in Charlotte, NC. Over our years of living apart we have, once or twice a year, met for painting and heart time at their family farm, just down from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lots of these are from that area, around West Jefferson, NC. Another of my favorite haunts for painting overlooks is Monteagle Mountain, TN.
Also included are works from a plein air painting trip of northwestern United States.
