Hidden Treasure I and II
Blue Ridge Parkway Series #510 12 x 16 original oil $350.
Blue Ridge Parkway Series #509 12 x 16 original oil $350.
In looking through my paintings, I found 2 from last fall that I had not posted on my blog. A new show will be hosted by Second Helpings at the end of February of paintings and photographs of the Peaks of Otter. If you have special memories of the Beauty of Abbott Lake or Sharp Top or just a walk around the lake, please stop by and see these images of our treasured mountain resort on The Blue Ridge Parkway.

Natural Bridge II
This is an original of the scene that was painted in a smaller format last week. I have an Interior Design shop at Smith Mountain Lake that wants large paintings. It's a challenge to paint something twice, not my favorite thing to do, but good to compare colors and values and textures in both paintings.

Natural Bridge
12 x 16 original oil $350. SOLD
Did you know that GeorgeWashington left his initials on the wall of the Bridge in 1750? And did you know that JRR Tolkien engraved the hobbit walking song along the trail near the creek? Interesting trivia for a treasure hunt when visiting this national treasure!

Country Roads
Country Roads, Parkway Series # 508 12 x 16 oil $350.
I know I'm showing my age but I remember buying this album by John Denver when it first came out in the 70s. Even before this I was in love with country roads. Going home, leading home, taking me home, nostalgia, the smell of dirt, the orange clay with purple shadows, the sunshine on my shoulders....these things call me to another place and another time. Looking back is fun but looking forward is even better. One day these country roads will take me home, a home not of this world but one much more longed for!
