Campbell Angus Farm

Parkway Series #434 and #435     oil       SOLD

Friends who own a 200 acre angus farm offered their log cabin for a "painting" weekend and bought the plein air paintings that were done.  Because these sites were in Goose Creek Valley below the Parkway with a view of the Peaks, I have included them in my Parkway series.

Illuminated Thoughts

Have you ever looked at the light coming through a tree and felt a tingle of excitement?  Is it a feeling of hope or beauty or truth or a revelation of the Presence of a Creator?  Maybe it is all of this rolled into an experience that my heart wants to capture in paint.
